Great local building society
Sorting out daughter's finances before she leaves for Uni in GB. Ballymena branch staff are efficient, professional and discreet, everything a bank should be. Always putting the customer first. Great place to do business. Couldn't praise them enough for their helpful and considerate attitude to customers. Other high street banks could learn so much from them!
Outstanding support and service throughout our remortgage
I’ve just completed my remortgage with Progressive and could not be happier with the service.
Nicky has been absolutely outstanding throughout the whole process. She is professional, approachable, and consistently went above and beyond to keep things moving smoothly. This is the second time she has looked after us, and her excellent customer service was a big factor in choosing Progressive again.
Kerry also provided clear guidance on payment dates at an important stage, and her help was very much appreciated too.
It’s rare these days to find this level of personal, attentive service - Progressive should be very proud of the support their team delivers. Highly recommended.

10/10 would recommend
The customer advisor I had, Louise, was fantastic from start to finish, very professional but very personable at the same time. The progressive as a company worked with me very quickly and effectively to resolve the issue I was having. 10/10 would recommend
Absolutely useless website
Absolutely useless website. Can't contact them in any useful way as their opening hours are 9-5 M-F. I've been trying to transfer my savings for a week now and my money is still being held hostage by them. Not worth the hassle.

I’ve been a customer with The Progressive for many years after our self build. We recently completed an application for addition borrowing and Louise made the process so straight forward. Everything was taken care of. I honestly believe The Progressive has the best customer service out of all the banks or building societies I’ve ever used.

Pamela’s professionalism and service levels are outstanding, reflected, at all times , in her proactive and solutions focused approach, her knowledge of the mortgage products, strong communication skills, and overall helpfulness. Pamela is a real pleasure to deal with.
