Friendly family business

Dependable, friendly, distant

Staff aren't like robots which you find in other banks. But there are too few branches, you've got to travel to find a branch. Reviewed on: 5th February 2024

You need to provide opening dates for your bonds/ISAs on the certificate of investment and passcards otherwise you cannot calculate the 14 day period to add additional funds or change your mind. You also never know which branch has dealt with you application so it is not clear really. Reviewed on: 5th February 2024

An excellent service
