    Changed my view from experience.

    Their non-online online provision is dreadful. Online in name only. Can't open accounts online, only by paper. Can't transfer money automatically, has to be entered... Their non-online online provision is dreadful. Online in name only. Can't open accounts online, only by paper. Can't transfer money automatically, has to be entered on-line then manually authorised. Can't download statements, have to ask for a paper statement to be posted. Claim to do electronic ISA transfers but don't as they have to send a form for you to sign when they get a transfer out request but it is never mentioned until the form arrives in the post (by the time they sent the form 2 other ISA transfers had been completed). If they send you a secure message they don't inform you that a message is there you have to log on to check. Abysmal online service not worth bothering with. Read more Read less

    Opening branches, not closing them.

    Fantastic building society. They offer great savings rates and their customer service is excellent. They also offer very good mortgages to key workers in recognition of their efforts.
