Lisa Adams on 26/02/26

I spoke with Lisa Adams on 26/02/26, who delivered excellent customer service on my savings account. She was welcoming, professional, helpful and friendly. Excellent customer service with a 'can do attitude' is one of the main reasons I bank with you. The only add-on feedback would be, that for your online customers like me, it would be helpful, save time and work and be more efficient if you enable the customers to have more than one nominated bank account for withdrawals and that customers themselves can set this up online (with appropriate security), like the Leeds Building Society. The only other useful banking experience to have, would be to the ability to elect to receive a text notification of monies received and withdrawn on my account, e.g. like Ford Money CE and others I use. Really like your website and colours! Reviewed on: 27th February 2026

Your Agent listened attentively to my concern, understood exactly what was required, and stayed on the phone whilst I logged on to my account where he helped me to sort out my issue. I could not have wished for more. Superb customer care. Reviewed on: 25th February 2026

This is the worst online bank I have ever used.

This is the worst online bank I have ever used. In almost a year, I have only been able to log in successfully once. Next time I go in I need to reregister or get told my username has changed and then the account is always blocked. Thankfully I was only trying it out for a year and that year is nearly over.

The changes were introduced following customer feedback, with the aim of improving usability and accessibility for all our customers. Once you have completed the re-registration process for the new online service, you will be able to use the same login details for all future logins. If you need any further assistance please call us on 03300 243406, our Family Service Team is always happy to help. Response date: 26th February 2026
