Serena was exceptional in helping me to renew my mortgage. She went over and above from whatever anyone could expect. Including remembering me from a week before, and taking the trouble to walk to a different department to find out the answer to a question. Reviewed on: 29th January 2026

Small queue, answer pretty quickly, person very polite, helpful, knowledgeable and gave me the advice I neeeded to make a product decision. Provided additional info and signposted the next steps.

FRAUD NEVER APOLOGISED

FBS sent me a bill some 12 months after I took the loan which was unjustified and I had to fight long and hard to get this removed. Bailiff was mentioned. VERY BAD Reviewed on: 12th January 2026
