In branch service review

5
The security is very reassuring, but the nearest branch to me is Troon where I can't just pop in and out like I could when you had an office in Kirkcudbright. Reviewed on: 5th February 2024

Quick answering the phone

Security is a pain for first-time online bankers but staff are very helpful and there are no phone queues. Reviewed on: 5th February 2024

Caring, efficient, easy

5
The service is very personal and efficient. I telephoned ahead and Kath had everything set-up and she even phoned me to warn me of traffic issues. That is excellent customer service. Reviewed on: 5th February 2024
