Spotlight on... our client services team
Whether by telephone, fax, email or internet, when contacting
the bank, our clients and intermediaries are dealt with by the
client services team. The team of 12 receives an average of 300
queries every day, such as new account enquiries, renewing online
login passwords, Visa card queries, foreign currency exchanges and
payment requests, to name but a few. The team plays a fundamental
part in our operations and in serving our clients better than any
other financial services organisation. As such, all our clients and
intermediaries may rest assured that the care and attention
received will be amongst the very best in the industry.
Clients and intermediaries using our service centre will speak
to one of our dedicated operatives, with phone lines open between
8am and 8pm (UK time) Monday to Friday.
We are very proud to operate on a human basis with 99.66% of
incoming calls answered by a real person within three rings and no
touch-tone system in operation. The team's efficiency has been
acknowledged in the results of independent research*, where they
scored an impressive 9.2 out of 10 for their speed of response and
also achieved an overall client satisfaction index score (CSI) of
91.2%, being considerably higher than the national UK customer
satisfaction index (UKCSI) of 76.7%** and representing performance
that is well above average.
Every individual within the team has at least three years'
banking experience, with an average of 13 years. An extensive
ongoing programme of cross training enhances the skills of our
client services team, resulting in employees who are knowledgeable
about the whole spectrum of the bank's products and services. This
means that our clients and intermediaries benefit from a single
contact point where all their needs can be addressed easily and
efficiently.
