Simple switching to N&P Gold Classic Current Account

More current account customers are enjoying the benefits of the improved switching service introduced by Norwich & Peterborough Building Society (N&P).

N&P saw interest in its award-winning Gold Classic Current Account soar during the summer months as rising numbers of customers upset by the scandals affecting the big high street banks looked to move their accounts to more trusted providers.

The Society - part of Yorkshire Building Society Group - introduced an improved, personalised switching service in August and has been delighted with the positive response from customers.

"Our personalised switching service is like having a concierge to look after you and your move," said Ewan Edwards, head of current accounts at N&P.

"We know the idea of moving current account can be daunting for many people but our service gives you one personal contact from our dedicated switching team who will do all the legwork to make the move as smooth and trouble-free as possible.

"Banking scandals this year have made customers think more about the organisations entrusted to look after their money. Many more people have recognised the benefits of mutuality and how, as part of the Yorkshire, we offer a credible and trustworthy alternative to the high street banks.

"We're really pleased to consistently score above the industry average for customer service and the feedback we're receiving from new customers indicates they're appreciating the extra support we're providing when they move to us."

Benefits of N&P's Gold Classic Account include free debit card usage abroad, Sentinel Gold cover of cards and keys against theft and loss, exclusive N&P Gold savings products with preferential rates, and a share dealing service with market-leading rates.

The Gold Classic Current Account is free to operate while in credit.
