Great Savings Accounts

Apologies, but main point is around interest rate which is excellent and ease of setting up online accounts...now receiving circa 3 times the rate I was receiving with a very large Bank. Reviewed on: 21st February 2024

The people are nice to deal

The people are nice to deal with but normally I would be able to solve my problem much quicker on a building society website. Unfortunately your site has very limited options. Reviewed on: 21st February 2024

Had to report change of address.

5
Had to report change of address. Not long to wait to see assistant who dealt very professionally with relevant paperwork. Would have liked more guidance on account best suited to my needs but can only be done by prebooking an appointment, which is not ideal for me. However did supply sheet showing respective interest rates. Reviewed on: 30th January 2024
