TSB's new branch in Liverpool city centre is located right next to H&M on Lord Street, I did…read morepreviously like, the old branch TSB had in Liverpool but this store is obviously an improvement with more indoor cash machines and it is just overall a more modern branch with the added benefit of being one of the only banks in the area to include Sunday opening', ditching the draconian opening hours which many banks across the city, especially in Liverpool tend to follow. It might still close early at 4 pm, but this still is progress in the right direction especially considering Sunday trading laws exist, which force stores to close an hour later at 5 pm anyway. As I recall this is the only bank in Liverpool to have Sunday openings until Metro Bank opens at least. The store reminds me of the new Manchester store, albeit slightly smaller and I only presume this is now the new template on which TSB stores will be built on, while also having a small selection of umbrellas you can borrow if it's raining (this is pretty handy!) I do find the seating area in the store to be a tad basic, they felt like they were just thrown in from the old store and really didn't match the modern nature of this one, I also do feel coin facilities could be handled better with a proper counter compared to what they have now. The staff didn't seem overly friendly. I still do prefer the Natwest branch across the way which I really do like the more digitalised and modern approach which is a slightly larger branch too, but this still is a pretty decent bank and it is nice to see TSB move to a more modern branch in a slightly better location within Liverpool city centre but I do feel improvements in other areas to match the rest of the store really are due. 3*

I generally shop for insurance and the like on-line these days but I opted to take out car…read moreinsurance with Swinton in part because it gives me the option of dealing face to face with someone in this office rather than having to wait half an hour in a queue in order to speak to someone in Mumbai. Fortunately the premium (for me at least) was fairly competitive so I was happy to go with them. When the policy was due for renewal I called into the office where they managed to sort out a better price for the new policy and also sorted me out with £30 cashback as a bonus.

I needed a loan and my credit isn't just poor, it is abysmal!…read moreI went through another very large lender / broker based in Essex and all they did was mess me about for over a week. Every time they called me they asked me for something else and I was getting really fed up with them. I spoke to Chris at Any Type of Loan because they are based just down the road from me in Bromborough and we got everything sorted out the same day and my loan was paid out 24 hours later. I didn't get quite as much as the other lender offered but Chris explained that is because they lend their own money and are only a small lender so they have to limit what they lend. Very, very happy with the service and would recommend them to anyone.
