Not very helpful at reception
Not very helpful at reception , wanted to go through the form and the lady said it’s all ok, I wasn’t happy with her response as my investment is in the bank, left feeling a little confused as to why she didn’t want to go through the form, I said are we doing it here she said yes , took a glimpse and said it’s fine….. the next day I received a phone call from a man who asked me why I ticked the box twice.. I said I wanted to speak to someone and the lady said it’s ok.. any way the man was helpful and was apologetic towards my visit, he then went through the form…

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.
We’re really sorry to hear that your visit left you feeling confused. That’s not the kind of experience we want anyone to have. You should feel confident and clear at every step.
It’s good to hear that the follow-up call helped and that everything was properly explained, but we appreciate that this should have been addressed there and then during your visit.
Thanks again for feeding this back to us, it really does make a difference as we continue to improve.

They never do what they have say they will. For example they say they will send a confirmation email. it doesn't happen. You always have to chase them up.

Fast, same-day loan "Recommended"
I applied for a loan with Conisterbank last Friday and couldn't be happier with the experience.
The online application form was well laid out and straightforward to complete — no confusing questions or unnecessary steps. From submitting the application to the funds landing in my account took just a few hours, all on the same day. Fast, reliable, and no issues whatsoever.
Highly recommended.
