Messiah was very helpful in helping me set up a new savings account to receive my existing FXD Bond that matures 17th August. He was patient and stayed with me on the phone whilst I opened the account and then took instructions from me verbally to switch the maturing funds over on the day of maturity without to have another conversation. He was courteous, and professional in his approach and I was very pleased with the service he provided. Reviewed on: 4th August 2026
