Telephone Help Desk
Current wait time – less than 20 seconds!
We know how frustrating it can be trying to get through to a real person, when calling your bank, utilities provider, or doctors for example.
We pride ourselves on giving you the best possible service we can, and ensure that our friendly team prioritise your calls, keeping our average call wait time below 20 seconds!
Our phone lines are generally busiest first thing in the morning and at lunchtimes, so you should find our answering times are quickest at other times of the day.
Your call will take as long as you need, and we won't try to rush you if you need time to discuss your account.
Remember you can also request a call-back at a time that suits you by completing this form
