As a long-standing customer you gave me terrible service today. Your systems are lousy. You have lost me forever and I shall be investing in the Nationwide instead.

I had a twelve month fixed rate bond that matured while I was hospitalised I was unable to get in touch with the skipton, when I was eventually discharged from hospital I went to my local branch to give instructions only to find out that the skipton had second guessed my intentions and reinvested my money into another twelve months bond which is exactly what I wanted .I know that other banks deposit your money into a measly account paying a very low rate of interest but not the skipton ,they did what was best for the customer Read more Read less
