A good service, with the possibility of minor delays
Our helpdesk is operating as normal, though in the current circumstances, call volumes may be higher than normal.
If your enquiry is not urgent, please consider sending an email instead. You may find an answer to your query via our Help Centre.
Requests via email
Experiencing significant delays
Due to limited staff capacity and increased risk of fraud, our accounts team are currently unable to prioritise requests sent to us via email. There may be delays of 3-5 days in actioning these requests.
To avoid delays, please use our online banking tools or visit a branch.
Credit control
We are ready to help, but please provide information to avoid delays
