Whenever I phone with a query the person on the other end is always very courteous and nothing is too much trouble. During Covid when I needed to withdraw some money and I was not as yet on the internet the person I spoke to suggested that he pay my withdrawal funds directly into my HSBCaccount by walking round to the branch near to the building society so I could avoid waiting for the post to arrive and tosave me the time and trouble of paying it into my own branch.. Absolutely fantastic service. Really wonderful Reviewed on: 4th February 2024
