It's a fairly small branch, and its cash machines are generally mobbed, especially during busy shopping times like Saturday afternoons and Thursday evenings. I think that people tend to forget that there's a Lloyds around the corner and a Bank of Scotland one block along the road. I went in ehre to open up my graduate account, since their overdraft terms are a lot more reasonable than those at my previous student bank, HSBC. It didn't take long to set up and the teller was very helpful. The bank itself as a means for withdrawing money, depositing cheques, and other routine things seems to be pretty good in general. The queues can be pretty long but since it's small there are only so many people you can cram in at once. Pretty much all you could ever want or need from a city centre bank branch.

The new boys on the plot have taken a different approach to the world of personal banking in addition to the standard bank services that are offered they have taken visiting the bank to a whole new level. Attached to the bank is a members lounge where any bank customer can visit with a guest if they desire. They have WiFi, ipads, iMacs, coffee machines, a cinema and even a mini library all be it filled with Richard Branson's books. The staff are amazing and treat the whole thing as an experience for the customer rather than just banking. It is worth opening an account with virgin just to get access to their lounges let alone the banking services which so far have been great too.

Don't be fooled, this does not mean that I've only encountered the business section of this branch. In fact, more often that not I was sent down here on a mission by my manager at the time to pay money into her account to cover bills. It's due to these occasions in particular, that I have found this bank to be preferable to my own. The staff have been friendly, helpful and did not seemed to bothered by the fact that I was playing about with an account that wasn't mine. Meanwhile, the service was unbelievably fast, even during the busier times such as lunchtime and/or Saturdays. This brings us onto the opening hours. This was one of the first venues where late night and weekend opening was piloted. It must have proved popular as this now seemed to have been adopted by other branches and indeed banks. In addition to all this, the branch was always clean, airy and clutter free. All you want from a bank - apart from more money.

This impressively big branch is open till 6, queues move quickly, and HBOS let me have an interest free overdraft when they could have been charging me for it. Even their telephone banking is good, as you're never kept waiting long at all. One word of warning at this branch especially. If you're male, you WILL find that in here a short skirted girl will try and sell you insurance or a credit card. If you're a girl you'll probably find a chisel-jawed male worker giving you the same spiel. They're not pushy or anything though, so it barely even registers as an annoyance.

I went to the HSBC and spoke to an adviser and was so impressed by the patter they gave. I was advised to move to what was called HSBC Premiere this is a different section of the bank where you are given a personal manager to to take care of your funds and financial needs. The issues that l had with the HSBC was that every time that l went to use the card it got rejected, not through lack of funds but due to the bank thinking that purchases l was making was out of character, l would understand if l was trying to transfer money to Nigeria or gambling I would consider that out of character but all I was doing was a food shop. Their customer services number is a premium rate number and expensive to call with nearly all the customer service agents speaking hardly any English and so l kept asking them to repeat what they where trying to say, in the end l had to walk into the branch to sort it out. In the end the customer service & card issues made me move back to the Bank of Scotland. Question: would you recommend the HSBC Answer: A big No

If I'm correct, they said they still own some of Lloyds. So I could pay in here. It's right across from the big post office. Unlike most of the banks, like my bank, who have loads of tills with no one on them and huge queues, this bank had staff on every till point, it it was moving fast. The guy to right of the entrance was very helpful, as I was scared I might pay money into the wrong account, as the bank split had me confused. The staff on the desks were different age groups. That was nice to see, as the young are getting the chance to come through and shine, and they were polite. The bank looks really nice inside. Very clean. Not one fault:)
