Banking as it should be

Banking as it should be. Easily contacted and based in the UK. Knowledgeable and helpful agents when you ring up.
On line banking is well set up and works very well.
Tesco Banking sets a fine example that other banks should follow.

I had a lot of problems hearing the lady on the phone. I explained about the line being quiet and that I wear hearing aids and could she slow down but to no avail. She just kept on talking fast and basically left it that I had 30 days to cancel when the information arrived in the post. No attempt to try and work with my disability.

Setting up an account

Tesco bank always very helpful with any questions would definitely recommend. Customer service very helpful apart from my first call who cut me off and did not call back so had to wait in queue again to get through.
