    Bad Points: There aren't many branches in the South.


    General comments: They gave a good rate of interest on the product I took out and offered me the chance to increase my investment at the good rate, even though I was late getting the money to them.
    If they are merging with Nationwide I wonder if the new business will still be able to offer the same excellent interest rates on things like fixed term bonds. My experience with Nationwide is that they don't offer such good rates. If bigger is better in today's financial world in order to compete with the non mutual banks then good luck to them.

    Ok for the basics (bonds, savings etc), but maybe not the best deal for other services. If the counter service speeds were better, this would be worthwhile in some instances, as the old-fashioned "personal" touches are still there.
