Great bank with great name!

I have saved with GB Bank for a year now and find them excellent both in terms of competitive rates, easy navigation on their website and very friendly and helpful service operators. I have recommended them to many friends and relatives and would not hesitate in doing so generally. The lady I spoke to today, Claire, was exceptionally helpful. Keep up the good work GB Bank and good luck for 2026.

Excellent Customer Care .....

Rob was extremely helpful and patient in helping me set up my account. He spent 46 minutes on the phone going through each step online with me; even with me asking him basic questions I had just to make sure I had understood all the information correctly. Did not feel rushed or pressurised. The online set-up was actually simple but I just felt I needed "someone holding my hand" whilst setting up online and so glad that it was Rob on the other end of the phone! Thank you Rob

Great service recommended TVM (thanks very much!)

Had to contact the bank by phone as I had just opened up a new (2nd) account with them but needed some help to make my deposit. The lady Chantel was extremely friendly and helpful, she guided me through the process and gave me other information that I needed. She was very patient. As I said this is my 2nd account with GB bank and I am very pleased with their service and rates.

120 day account

120 day account. Simple. No issue.
Done with other banks many times.
They return money plus interest on expiry day.
GB Bank no ...
On day you accept account you have to close sane account. No message, no clarify. I needed money for a house purchase and failed. Going legal with GB Bank. Do not trust or use them. No customer info, no info on banking regulator.

Excellent Mortgage Services & Competitive Rates

I could not recommend GB Bank enough. I recently worked on a mortgage application with them and the whole process was extremely well managed. Adnan, our relationship manager was professional and efficient and supported the application from start to finish. Over and above this, the rate offered was highly competitive.

More than 5 Star Reviews for MR. Suvir Bhargava from GB Bank

I would like to take this opportunity to give GB Bank — and especially Mr. 
Suvir Bhatnagar — a 5-star review. Suvir has been one of the most responsible, diligent, and customer-focused professionals I have ever worked with.

He successfully helped us secure a remortgage for our hotel within a very tight three-to-four week deadline, something that would have been nearly impossible without his dedication. I was very impressed with his level of care, attention to detail, and his commitment to always putting the customer first.
Thanks to Suvir and the GB Bank team, the entire process was smooth and efficient, and we felt fully supported from start to finish. I would not hesitate to recommend GB Bank and Suvir Bhargava to anyone looking for outstanding financial solutions and exceptional customer service.

What a fantastic Bank

What a fantastic Bank. Swags was amazing, I made a resent transfer but for some reason it did not through.
Rang and spoke to Swags and she could not have been more helpful. After taking all the security checks and then finding out why the transaction did not go through, I was told to check my nominated account, and there it was, great, we were then able go ahead with our house purchase, well done, keep up the good work.

Good Customer Service Experience

I've recently opened a GB Bank account and I was having a problem logging in.
My call to customer service was answered promptly and I was guided through the process by a lovely patient chap, he couldn't have been nicer.
As it's a new bank I was a bit apprehensive but the good customer service has made me feel very positive about my decision.
I would have given 5 stars but since I had the hiccup getting logged on in the first place I thought 4 was fairer.
