The address now shown is correct as the bank has moved in with Co-operative Travel in the Golden Square shopping centre outdoor section near the Mad hatters tea party.

Post Office Savings
These guys offer an 'Instant Saver' account that has 'instant access online, by phone, post or at…read moreyour local Post Office'. So I made the mistake of giving them some money that I would need.... erm... instantly. It had the usual gotcha that the 2% interest bonus was only available for 12 months, but I would be long gone by then. Except when the small print arrived it was all 'BACS can take up to 5 days' and 'cheques can take 5-7 days to arrive'. I persevered and sent them my bank details, and waited for my ATM card. When I needed the money I dutifully logged on to the internet and made a transfer to my current account. I got no errors, and sat and waited for the money to move. Nothing happened for 7 days. Then the money reappeared in my Post Office account. Not exactly what I was expecting. So I rang the helpful people at the Post Office who told me the sort code was incorrect, and it would take 5 working days to correct it. I know, I though. I'll use my ATM card and carry the cash to my bank. Only the pin didn't work. In the end, I had to wait another 10 days to get my cash back. Not ideal if you need your cash in an.... erm... instant.

A pretty basic branch with poor facilities serving the Cheshire town of Wilmslow - while it isn't…read morethe worst bank in the city, that title has to go to Natwest further down the street - Santander really is highly below average and if this was my local branch I would strongly consider leaving the bank altogether, even though they do offer one of the better interest rates on current accounts right now. A lack of staff, ATM's and banking machines and a pretty old-fashioned feel of the store which is pretty small do counter into that, while also including the horrible opening hours where they not only open slightly later than average at 9:30 but they also close at 5 which is again slightly earlier than other banks, which is again frustrating to considering it isn't open on weekends. Not only was the store understaffed with little room for more staff at the counter, but service also seemed to move really slow and unlike other stores, there wasn't a separate and quicker queue to get pointed in the right direction perhaps with just a simple issue or query. 1*
Natwest in Middleton is fine as a bank unless you have to into the branch! There is nearly always a…read morebig queue with people paying bills, counting out copper jars etc. They give you the option to pay money into the little box on the wall but after the stories that you hear about stuff getting lost i'd rather wait in the queue. Disadvantage to this is that the cashier will then try to get you to upgrade your account when you finally get to the window! There is no parking outside the bank unless you have a disabled badge and the traffic wardens are always about so it's not worth the risk! So as a bank they are fine if you don't have to visit them!
TSB's modern branch on Manchester's Market Street is one of the only reasons I still bank with TSB,…read morein terms of overall facilities, ease of in-branch experience and service, it is one of the best banks within the city centre which is quite impressive considering it might not be as large or offer anything different such as Virgin Money, Lloyds Bank and Metro Bank nearby. This store seems to do the basics very well rather than introducing other stuff which leads to a lower standard of everything else. The account and product knowledge is also pretty good, and the opening hours of the store are also pretty good, being open on Sunday's and even having the longest opening hours (Until 4 pm) in the city during the ongoing Covid-19 crisis, a title shared with Metro Bank. Unlike nearby Natwest, they don't have coin processing facilities unless you complete a paying-in slip which I find a little old fashioned (having to complete and post a paying in envelope) 4*

They also have a machine you can cash cheques into and transfer money into your bank account so you don't have to queue, from time to time i have had problems with this machine due to my money (notes) being creased so the machine won't accept them. They have private interview rooms for when applying for a loan, mortgage, credit card e.t.c. The staff are always happy to help wither it is a problem or simple question.

Lloyds Bank has two branches in Liverpool city centre, this branch is one of two alongside a…read moreterrible branch on Lord Street, this branch which is located next to Santander on Church Street fairly close to Ranelagh Street and Liverpool Central is slightly better. The opening hours are pretty much average being open mostly between 9 am and 5 pm Monday to Saturday, albeit they open half an hour later on Wednesday's, and close an hour earlier on Saturday's. The branch looks a lot larger from the outside than the inside, inside it is pretty small but they do pack in good facilities into a small area, there is a really small area devoted to digital and online banking, with two tablets, the area wasn't particularly modern, large or nice compared to other branches Lloyds have in the likes of Leeds and Manchester. There was however a satisfactory amount of ATM's, and a member of staff greeting customers (for some reason she ignored half the customers that walked in even when she was just staring into space or at her Ipad doing nothing - which included me) Decent bank location, pretty much average in most areas yet far from excellent or outstanding - A-OK sums it up and it is of course much better than many banks in Liverpool, especially compared to Santander next store (still not the best though!) 3*
I like HSBC's Manchester city-centre branch, it is located in St Ann's Square, opposite the Royal…read moreExchange Theatre, it is fairly large for a bank, over multiple floors, with a counter service on the upper level, yet there are still ATM's and staff members who can answer basic questions as you go into the store. I find the staff here to be pretty friendly and helpful, they can help regarding both HSBC and First Direct accounts. I could easily pay in money, even though I had forgotten my card, as I had access to my online banking portal. The branch feels fairly modern overall, I like the "This is Manchester" branding on the exterior window and the overall look/feel of the branch. I do find their opening hours to be a little restrictive, especially on weekends, they close at 1 pm on Saturday and then they're closed until Monday, during the week the hours are the standard 9 - 5. 4* - Good bank branch in the centre of town for HSBC and First Direct customers and one I'll surely be returning to in the not so distant future.

And I've been to a few. It's got quite a few floors which probably meets a lot of different banking needs. There's always lots of staff looking to help you, answer your question, direct you to a floor or one of the most easiest, self-sufficient pieces of machinery ever made to man. Most of the time going to the bank is a hectic, painful experience. But it's made ever so easier at St Ann's.
