    First Direct & Co-op Bank always get 80% or over in the custormer satisfaction polls! They must be doing a lot that their customers like. Call centers are in the UK. You should be happy with either.

    natwest is 1st class with English staff who can speak the lingo, with no minimum £1500 ransom per month to get it. cough 1st direct. :p
    You don't need to pay in £1500 so long as you hold a 'selected product'. I certainly won't be paying that much a month in but have managed to get 4 selected products (e-savings * 2, 1 * savings account & a credit card).

    So we're looking for a well-funded group of witches based out of Turkey. Getting that far was easy, but I can't narrow it down to any locations within Turkey... where would witches hang out if they were moonlighting as call centre employees? :grouphug:

    What on earth are you talking about?

    I thought it was quite amusing too, but then i do have a warped sense of humour !

    First Direct - voted best for customer services - based in Leeds and somewhere in Scotland. Always been fantastic and when you dial the telephone banking number in about 3 rings you get straight through to a person not 'Press 1 for this' etc. You can get around their 'minimum balance' or 'monthly fee' by opening their credit card (dont have to use it) or by opening a savings account (ie: esaver) and wacking £1 in there :)

    I wouldn't say it was particularly 'new' -- I saw a programme about this maybe as long as a couple of years ago (possibly Panorama or something like that), so I'm not sure how SOCA or CIFAS can call it 'an absolute bombshell'.
