Its so nice to have a branch to go to and discuss matters with rather than impersonal on line contact. Why did I need to give notice to transfer money from saver a/c to open an ISA. This is an internal move of money? Reviewed on: 9th January 2023

Once I got through, the person I spoke to was very helpful.. The only downside was that I had to wait an awfully long time before I could speak to anyone. Reviewed on: 9th January 2023

Went to branch to sort out. Information on the door said it was within opening hours. It was shut, extremely frustrating. This also happened a few weeks back, again info on door said it should be open- it wasn't. Reviewed on: 9th January 2023
