GB Great Britain, UK call answering in Newcastle 👍
Have been with GB for a while; good so far.
I needed advice over the phone today, my call was answered promptly and helpfully by Rob in Newcastle upon Tyne. Uk call answering is helpful for me because I have hearing impairment and have difficulty understanding overseas call centres.
There was a small problem opening a new account on line using iPad safari so I was advised to do it on Google which did work. I suspect that a section of the GB software isn’t compatible with Safari but with help on the phone we sorted it using google.
Otherwise apart from the software issue it would have been 5 star

I had a question about how to access my account and my options on maturity of my savings account. Both were answered in a very friendly, easy-to-understand way and I am very happy with the answers and the fact that I was able to do exactly what I had wished with the minimum of time and no intrusive list of questions.

Good competitive interest rates.
Very accessible by phone and answer without delay. Speak to a real person. Staff all speak English and so no issues in communication. All staff always very helpful and knowledgeable in their products and systems. Staff are always very patient when sorting things out, very polite.
Today spoke to their colleague, Chantelle who quite happily stayed on the phone whilst I made payments from another bank, to make sure the money hit my GB bank account without issue. Very reassuring when moving large sums of money. Thanks Chantelle and thanks to all your colleagues.

Excellent Customer Care .....
Rob was extremely helpful and patient in helping me set up my account. He spent 46 minutes on the phone going through each step online with me; even with me asking him basic questions I had just to make sure I had understood all the information correctly. Did not feel rushed or pressurised. The online set-up was actually simple but I just felt I needed "someone holding my hand" whilst setting up online and so glad that it was Rob on the other end of the phone! Thank you Rob

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.
