Great service

No queue, Rachel was friendly and polite, understood my disability and explained things clearly, giving me the options available. All in all, a very pleasant experience and all my banking needs fulfilled.

So far so good in terms of being a new still learning to get along with them type client at this stage. Prior to signing up with them I was ignored while contacting them via their direct e-mail per their own website. I got back onto them still without response and no acknowledgement - never. I hoped for better service once signed up which is the case via secure messaging. However, there was nothing secure nor overly private to stop them communicating over general queries I say again, after all it shows in big writing offering support via e-mail. One response was kind of robotic and failed to have read my short message properly. Can't yet comment on ongoing capability for providing hard or efficient copies for tax or that end of it etc. time will tell. However, I did research and based on reputation I went with them so far okay.

Emma treated me as a friend

Emma treated me as a friend and was very helpful. She picked up my call quickly and provided the information I needed in a professional way. I felt assured that she was an expert in her job.

The service I received was professional and friendly

The service I received was professional, friendly, and extremely helpful from start to finish. Everything was explained clearly, and I felt listened to and supported throughout the process.

The staff member I spoke with was patient, knowledgeable, and made everything simple and stress-free. It is refreshing to receive such genuine and caring customer service.
