‘I’m excited about the Society’s future following our purchase of The Co-operative Bank. Providing great service will always be a big priority for us, and as we move forward together, we’ll continue this focus enhancing the support we offer, keeping your money safe and secure.
Interest rates reduced twice in 2024 and at each change we sought to balance the needs of all members, both savers and borrowers, whilst continuing to offer you fantastic service. We’ve answered calls quickly once again, bringing our call waiting times down even further and made headway to digitise our service so we can reach more members than ever.’
