Great building society to deal with

Faultless personal customer service and always a pleasure to deal with. Phone calls always answered quickly by UK based staff who are very knowledgeable, competent and professional. I've never been put on hold and have been saving with them for a few years now. Reviewed on: 27th March 2024

Great customer service.

It was refreshing to make a call and not hear a recorded message of "We are currently receiving a high volume of calls at the moment" Very shortly after ringing I got to speak to someone (I think the ladies name was Sumaya - I hope I've spelt that correctly!) Anyway, the service was first class: thank you. Reviewed on: 21st March 2024

So far so good.

So far so good. Identity not yet verified. Should have asked for third address in last three years, had been living there for 18 years then sold and went into rented property. Only bought my new home in December 2023 Reviewed on: 19th March 2024

You take too long to get to talk about what I am 'phoning about. The last time I had 12 questions before I could start. Then today you've sent me by post a statement of this month's transactions. It co-incides with my notes, but why is'nt it TOTALLED? No total shown! Reviewed on: 19th March 2024
