Can I speak to someone about my account at a TSB branch?

We’ve invested in a highly trained, dedicated customer service team who have access to all of your account details. You can reach them on 0345 111 0325*, 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday (Personal Customers) or on 0345 835 3858*, 8:30am to 6pm Monday to Friday (Commercial Customers) and they'll be happy to help you.

TSB branches don't have access to your Whistletree account details, so they won't be able to help you with any queries.

Do I need to change my Direct Debit?

Direct Debits will show as Whistletree on your statement instead of Airdrie.

Your rights under the Direct Debit Guarantee are unaffected as all obligations under its terms automatically transferred to Whistletree. Details of the change will have been supplied to your bank at the time.

If you have a variable rate mortgage and there is a change to the interest rate, you will now be given 4 days' notice before your direct debit payment instruction is changed. This happens automatically and you will not need to take any action.

If you have any questions about your Direct Debit please call 0345 111 0325*, 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday (Personal Customers) or 0345 835 3858*, 8:30am to 6pm Monday to Friday (Commercial Customers).
