There are spaces for customers but I have never managed to get one and there is room for about 3 cars on the road if you avoid the double yellow lines but these are usually taken. The branch itself is clean, neat and tidy and the staff are great. I have never seen it busy and I am always served quickly and asked if there is anything else they can help me with.

Visits to banks seem to be an necessary evil these days and, even if you're not struggling…read morefinancially, the trip to the bank can still be full of stress. This is certainly the case at Abbey Woking. The branch, situated in the Peacocks Centre is bright and well-lit. There's a cash machine on the outside of the bank and an internal lobby with a further two cash machines and a phone line to their telephone advisers. Unlike some banks the lobby is not accessible when the bank is shut. Recently the branch has undergone some cosmetic changes to offer a little more privacy to those talking to advisers because, with the exception of three small rooms, advice is given in the open in the area between the lobby and the customer service desks at the rear of the branch. Privacy was always poor. Now it has improved slightly but is still not great. There are 5 cahsier positions in the bank although if you find more than 2 manned you'll be lucky. This is one of my gripes as often there is quite a long queue. Although staff will sometimes line walk to see if anyone is just paying in a cheque it would be great if they could increase the cashier numbers at busy times - there always seem to be a lot of staff seemingly milling around. Staff at the counters are generally friendly but the same cannot be said of those who staff the front desk (incuding some of the management). They will try to fob you off at every opportunity. They are also unwilling to offer any flexibility for finance review meetings. The branch opens at 9am but the first meeting cannot be arranged until 10am because of staff meetings. They clearly don't want the custom that badly. In terms of selling to you, Abbey are not that bad - they're not perfect, but they're not bad. This really is a branch that's let down by poor management.

What makes it worse are the staff themselves all appear to be from across the Indian Subcontinent. It would be better to have some staff transferred to other branches to broaden their experiences. I saw one elderly Asian lady in a saree rudely spoken to because of the way she presented more than one cheque which wasn't to the tellers liking, the woman had done nothing wrong it was just a different way. The teller I saw wanted to charge a fee for the transaction I wanted to carry out even though my account gives that service for free. She insisted on the fee, when I referred her to her branch service manual and the relevant section she came back without apology and said I won't charge you this time as though doing a favor.
