However, it's location within the Shawlands Arcade shopping centre means that to access it, you have to walk up the ramp to the arcade and then back across to the bank. This makes it inconvenient if you have just parked outside to withdraw some cash. If you are shopping at the Arcade or have some business at the building society, it's extremely useful.

This bank on Dumbarton Road used to be an Abbey National - but since being bought out by the…read moreSpanish banking giant, they've now changed their name to Santander. I wandered into this (very warm it has to be said) bank one late afternoon, with a vague idea of picking up some information about bank accounts. I'd gone into the nameless bank a few doors up just before this - wanting to talk to someone about opening an account - and has left sorely disappointed with the service I received. This was not the case in this Santander branch, though. Within about three minutes of walking in the door I was sat down in a booth with a knowledgeable lady offering me chocolates. She answered all my questions and filled in an application form for me all in about twenty minutes. Perfect.

This branch of the Royal Bank of Scotland is located on Sauchiehall Street, on the corner of West…read moreNile Street and next door to Schuh. 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.

If you bank with these guys, they just make it simple. Easy.

I banked with the bank of Scotland for over 30+ years ever since l was a kid, it was a sad day to move to a rival. The co-operative bank may not offer more interest than most places, but they sure make up with the personal touch, with most staff not even looking like bankers, with many of the staff remembering clients by first name, here l feel I'm not just a number. Definitely a bank worthy of 5 stars.

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

I always get the same friendly service, where at previous banks they'll stop letting you in in advance.

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.
