Measuring satisfaction

Every month an independent research company contacts 10,000 customers by telephone to ask them about the quality of service they receive from our branch and telephone staff. We also ask 5,000 users of our Internet Bank and website users, via an online survey, to rate service quality.

Please check out our latest Customer Service Tracker results below.
