Incompetent, frustrating and time-wasters

Utterly incompetent. Took 2 months to event get our re-mortgage application processed (costing time, and money) and then every single thing we put was scrutinised... Utterly incompetent. Took 2 months to event get our re-mortgage application processed (costing time, and money) and then every single thing we put was scrutinised and questioned - even though nothing had changed since the last time we applied for a mortgage! We gave up in the end as they wanted us to spend event MORE money getting a solicitor involved. Totally unnecessary. Read more Read less

I've only recently opened an account from the Woodbridge office. I was attracted by the compeitive rates (so far), it being a local financial service provider in my community, the ease of accessing the office given my location and the option to use the services online as I wish. The processes were as pain free as elsewhere. Read more Read less

We made the appointment to arrange two ISA accounts, following a previous appointment, to open accounts for our grand children. We opened 3 accounts for them, and whilst there we asked about ISA’s, Jack was extremely helpful and gave us information we hadn’t known. This encouraged us to open ISA’s with you. At both appointments, Jack was extremely helpful and showed good knowledge regarding the accounts we were interested in. His help was much appreciated. We opened our other accounts with you in 2022 and have been really happy with the service we’ve received. We’ve found all your staff to be friendly and helpful. Read more Read less
