Just off the High Street on the way to Sainsburys'. Queues can be quite long at lunchtime or end of day. Useful machine to pay in cheques though. Staff cheery and helpful. Help desk near front is good but not always manned. read more

Excellent service and will use again. Ive never ordered currency online before so was rather…read moresuspicious but due to being sick of getting charged over the odds on the high St ,I gave it a go. So currency ordered via their website which is simple to use and you get a confirmation email.You then pay Griffin by bacs(you can pay by card if you call them also)They confirm receipt of the bacs payment by email and my currency arrived the next day by signed delivery.Brilliant and this way meant we got much more for our £. I will now use for every holiday. Thanks Jayne
Great currency rate & all worked well after a slight delay over New Year holiday periodread more

Which can be frustrating as they are more interested in telling you to use the machines to pay in or take out money and will happily teach you rather than reduce the queues. In many bank surveys this branch and Nat West Bank overall comes out poor (one star out of 5) for service. Especially the branch in Southend on Sea, Essex.

The staff are smiley and helpful but could be a little more chatty. The automatic door is a pain as it is so slow to open and the door way is quite narrow.
