Our appointment was kept promptly, as usual, our queries answered. We were less impressed by the emails received afterwards which seemed not to relate to anything we had discussed. Reviewed on: 8th November 2022

I have an existing regular saver account and discovered by chance you now do one with higher interest. I believe you should email savers when you do this. I had to phone and close the account, receive my savings back and open a new one. Reviewed on: 8th November 2022
