Excellent Mortgage Services & Competitive Rates

I could not recommend GB Bank enough. I recently worked on a mortgage application with them and the whole process was extremely well managed. Adnan, our relationship manager was professional and efficient and supported the application from start to finish. Over and above this, the rate offered was highly competitive.

More than 5 Star Reviews for MR. Suvir Bhargava from GB Bank

I would like to take this opportunity to give GB Bank — and especially Mr. 
Suvir Bhatnagar — a 5-star review. Suvir has been one of the most responsible, diligent, and customer-focused professionals I have ever worked with.

He successfully helped us secure a remortgage for our hotel within a very tight three-to-four week deadline, something that would have been nearly impossible without his dedication. I was very impressed with his level of care, attention to detail, and his commitment to always putting the customer first.
Thanks to Suvir and the GB Bank team, the entire process was smooth and efficient, and we felt fully supported from start to finish. I would not hesitate to recommend GB Bank and Suvir Bhargava to anyone looking for outstanding financial solutions and exceptional customer service.

A run around to give this company my money!
Memorable place was not accepted, then my password. Closed out and had to call them, 40 mins on the phone, they couldn't find my details, I had opened the account, but they had put my husbands name he was a 2nd. Yesterday, transferred form my bank £1,000, today a large sum from my bank, I don't do Apps. When it didn't arrive to GB, I called. Oh your account has timed out, it's 21 days. In my reckoning 21days was today 11.9.25, my money went back to my bank. We can reopen your account for you, I don't want to go through all the hassle again. my £1,000, sent 10.9.25, is not returnable.

What a fantastic Bank

What a fantastic Bank. Swags was amazing, I made a resent transfer but for some reason it did not through.
Rang and spoke to Swags and she could not have been more helpful. After taking all the security checks and then finding out why the transaction did not go through, I was told to check my nominated account, and there it was, great, we were then able go ahead with our house purchase, well done, keep up the good work.

Good Customer Service Experience

I've recently opened a GB Bank account and I was having a problem logging in.
My call to customer service was answered promptly and I was guided through the process by a lovely patient chap, he couldn't have been nicer.
As it's a new bank I was a bit apprehensive but the good customer service has made me feel very positive about my decision.
I would have given 5 stars but since I had the hiccup getting logged on in the first place I thought 4 was fairer.

Frustrating

Already having problems and not even opened an account yet. Filled in all the details, clicked on the link to upload documents required, for a message to pop up saying d.o.b is incorrect. Tried again and says I've reached the maximum times. So now having to post them.

So far so good

They answered the phone quickly when I called with a query before opening my account. The account opening process was then easy enough, if not as slick as some app-only banks I've used (snail mail verification code before withdrawals are allowed). Deposits, including initial small test amount, have been pretty much instantaneous. All good to date.

Difficulty Opening Fixed Rate Savings Account

I opened a fixed rate savings bond on line which resulted in information REQUIURED to complete the opening of the account being sent by POST?
Why was this information NOT SENT BY EMAIL with all my other information?
I then had CONSIDERABLE DIFFICULTY SETTING UP THE SECURITY INFORMATION. NO INDICATION WAS GIVEN REGARDING SOME OF THE SECURITY questions which entailed ERRORS you were not aware of.
This meant YOU COULD NOT COMPLETE THE APPLICATION and had to telephone GB Bank to ASCERTAIN WHAT ERRORS had been made on application security questions.
If I had known the application was going to be so frustrating and time consuming I would NOT have opened an account!
I will admit to making my own erros which caused self inflicted problems.

Hi Alan

Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologise for the frustrating and time-consuming experience you had while opening your fixed-rate savings account. We understand your concerns and appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention.

We apologize for the delay caused by sending the secure authentication code via post. This is a crucial step in our security protocol, and for your protection, this code is only sent through postal mail, not email. This process ensures the highest level of security for your account and future withdrawals.

Thank you again for your valuable feedback, as it helps us improve our services for all customers.
