I recently got in touch by phone to ask about opening a new savings account and found the service to be warm, professional and helpful. The experience of choosing and opening an online account and making a cash transfer was easier and more straightforward than I’d imagined. Follow up communication by email and post has since been excellent, timely and personal. Overall I’m very pleased with the product and the service. Reviewed on: 22nd August 2025
