How do you rate your bank account's service?

12 August 2012

We run this poll on big banks every six months, to see how the experience changes. We’d love your feedback. Please vote based on CUSTOMER SERVICE NOT RATE for your main bank current account over the LAST SIX MONTHS (please discount any service before that).
