Friendly, helpful staff and one of the few financial institutions left on our High Street for personal service. This make such a difference, although your telephone service staff are great too! Reviewed on: 14th January 2025

Very helpful lady (Judy?) Shame I had to visit as the account for my granddaughter had been set up wrongly in the first place. However although not yet sorted, the lady I saw was very helpful. Reviewed on: 11th January 2025

Your website

I find your website unintelligible. I hate the fact that it only the size of a mobile phone, and when you refer me to a certain section (eg maturity information) I click on every icon you have on the page, but still cannot find it. However, I cannot praise your staff highly enough. When I telephone they are extremely helpful. Reviewed on: 11th January 2025
