On line service

I tried to log into online services & it would not allow me to access just kept rejecting - it was apparently not working but there was no note advising. Obviously there was a long wait following morning to speak to someone - however although I rated the experience as 3 the actual person I spoke to although not in the team but covering during to vol of calls initially advised that I would need to be then put through to another team to withdraw funds which had over 30 in the queue on top of the 45 min wait at 9 opening time pro-actively checked & took my instructions over the telephone - o would score her 5 tip marks for initiative & customer service Reviewed on: 8th September 2025

Lisa Adams was fantastic today in customer services.

Lisa Adams was fantastic today in customer services. I was in total overwhelm as things had gone wrong with funding for buying a house and time was of the essence. She empathised and phoned me back as promised and resolved an issue for me. She was so kind and allowed me time to respond without going on about waiting times. Reviewed on: 3rd September 2025
