How we use customer and broker feedback

Customer feedback gives us valuable insight into how we can improve to make our customers’ lives better. We want to be there for our customers in the moments that matter, and to understand their needs and what they want from us we understand the importance of communication and our customers’ opinions.

Trustpilot

We encourage customers to leave us honest reviews on Trustpilot, and we pride ourselves in replying to each one to show our appreciation or to resolve any problems the customer is having.

Surveys

We regularly send out satisfaction surveys to our Savings customers, Mortgage customers and intermediaries. These surveys help us understand whether our products work for our customers.

With all our surveys, we ask customers if they would like to tell us more, if so we’ll give them a call to discuss their experience in more detail.

Focus groups and interviews

We hold interviews and focus groups with customers and brokers, so we can learn first-hand what matters to them, and what they want from a bank. This insight in invaluable to us and helps make key decisions within the business, especially when designing new products and services.

After gaining this feedback we review it and take it into account in future business decisions, to help improves processes and journeys.

Feedback button

We have a feedback button available on every page on our website, where customers or intermediaries can send in any feedback they have.

This is regularly reviewed then sent off to the relevant department to help us continually improve, so we can be the best for our customers.
