Very helpful on getting me back on line after having been locked out. Reviewed on: 2nd July 2025

Awful web site, too complicated to open account.

1
Good interest rate if you can open an account. So many problems with opening an account . Web site is very poor, not displaying upload links when requested. Certified passport requested but link to certification requirements led to an error screen. Requests for duplicates of identity really annoying. When calling, always number one in queue but call just goes on ringing. Invested with another bank as so frustrated, opened joint account in under 10 minutes with better interest rate.

I had a little trouble in logging into my computer Savings Account, which may have been my fault, and I locked myself out of the facility. Gill Collard promptly called me back on their 'call you back' facility, and was able to resolve my problem. I'm grateful for the friendly and efficient assistance I received.

A very long wait to get through to a person.

A very long wait to get through to a person. At the start of the wait i was informed that there were 7 people in front of me. This was not useful information as I had no idea how many people were dealing with calls. Over the next 25 minutes or so the number of calls waiting was not repeated so progress was impossible to estimate. the music was not relaxing! Instructions had been given to transfer monies from an expiring bond to a new on line account. An email today was ambiguous and implied that no instructions had been give, Donnika, who took my call was charming, informative and helpful. Well done her!!!! Reviewed on: 30th June 2025
