Need more staff...

One customer in front of me, at the counter when I entered. 30 minutes before I was finished..Only one person dealing with customers....supervised as only a new starter. Reviewed on: 28th October 2024

Unclear email instructions.

You sent me an email to say that my ISA was about to mature. I decided to act promptly and tried to give maturity instructions on line. Had problems logging in and phoned you, helpful lady got the problem resolved, but still no box for maturity instruction. Phoned again and was told that you can not give online instruction until 14 days before maturity, but this was not stated in the email. Then transferred and was (hopefully) able to give instruction on the phone. Needs a bit of a tidy up. Reviewed on: 28th October 2024

Very happy to help!

I went in to local branch with an enquiry and was greeted promptly and efficiently helped to resolve my enquiry to a successful conclusion. I left fully updated and having updated my savings account to a higher saving rate and much clearer on how I can save and access the account going forward. Reviewed on: 28th October 2024

Easy to communicate with the company.

Easy to communicate with the company. I do follow the interest rates and pick the highest. You do well for regular savers but ghave not yet been number one at the time i want to open or transfer an ISA. Reviewed on: 28th October 2024

I was unable to locate the maturity manager online

I was unable to locate the maturity manager online so ended up sending a series of messages to give my instructions. Responses were prompt, but would have preferred to be shown the options and make my choice in one login session. It would also have helped to be pointed towards the members only account. I found out about it by chance. Reviewed on: 28th October 2024

Local convenience abd good value

You have a branch not far from where I live (the one on Market Hill Royston), so it's easy to pop in; some of your products offer good rates for savers so are worth taking up. It's just pure laziness, why go to Timbuctu if I can shop in Royston. Reviewed on: 24th October 2024

My issue was dealt with promptly

When I called for assistance my call was answered promptly and the advisor solved my problem on the first interaction Reviewed on: 24th October 2024
