Excellent Service

Had occasion to open a Fixed Rate Bond this morning. Lisa could not have been more helpful in talking me through the process. Such quality ‘front of office’ staff members gives one an assurance that is most needed in today’s financial climate. Thanks Lisa Reviewed on: 16th April 2025

I was given the opportunity to request a call back, which worked. In order for my request to be completed I needed to open a new account online - Gill stayed on the line whilst I did that and was polite and efficient throughout. Reviewed on: 16th April 2025

Windfall Bond changes

3
My family have a number of Windfall Bonds whic when I opened them we used to get a list of winners each month. The Society now says it is impracticle to publish winners which I strongly disagree with. It would show openess in the procedure without disclosing too much information about the winners private details as was the case originally. Reviewed on: 15th April 2025
