Local, personal, friendly

5
I particularly like 'face-to-face', in-branch transactions. I am 77 years old, and do not like using the internet or phone for financial transactions. My only internet access is at the local library - a public place - therefore high-risk. Your staff are friendly and helpful. Reviewed on: 20th September 2024

New passbook did not specify the duration or interest rate of my new 2-year fixed rate ISA. This is a backwards step from previous practice. Reviewed on: 11th September 2024
