Great building society to deal with

Faultless personal customer service and always a pleasure to deal with. Phone calls always answered quickly by UK based staff who are very knowledgeable, competent and professional. I've never been put on hold and have been saving with them for a few years now. Reviewed on: 27th March 2024

Great customer service.

It was refreshing to make a call and not hear a recorded message of "We are currently receiving a high volume of calls at the moment" Very shortly after ringing I got to speak to someone (I think the ladies name was Sumaya - I hope I've spelt that correctly!) Anyway, the service was first class: thank you. Reviewed on: 21st March 2024
