This year, First Direct also received five stars for overall customer service and online, mobile, and telephone banking, along with four stars for ease of contacting customer services.
Nationwide shared the 84% customer score, earning four stars for in-branch service and five stars for online banking.
Chase, a digital bank under JPMorgan, achieved an 82% customer score, receiving five stars for its mobile app and four stars for customer service, application convenience, and telephone banking.
Danske Bank obtained an 80% customer score, predominantly with four-star ratings, including overall customer service and online banking.
Despite a high customer score of 85%, Allied Irish Bank fell short of WRP status. Revolut also performed well with an 83% score but was not designated as a WRP due to its status as an e-money provider in the UK, which does not offer protection under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.
