Review of the Chorley Building Society, Savings:

Signed up for online

4
Decided to sign up to online with the Chorley because of lock down. It was very straight forward and easy to understand considering doing online banking is new to me. I was sent an ID number through the post and went into my Chorley accounts but I couldn’t see a log out notice which the letter accompanying my ID number said to do but it would log me out after 5 minutes automatically if I wasn’t using the inline service. I found this to be a long time to wait and would have thought probably a couple of minutes would have been enough wait. I rang the next day and spoke to a lovely lady Called Joyce Haywood who was working from home because of the Covid-19 pandemic situation, she was very helpful and asked if there was a menu option which there was so I clicked on it and low and behold was the option to log off. So I feel much happier now that I can log straight out. Thanks for your help Joyce. Reviewed on: 5th June 2020

Help with getting online

4
I had problems getting online with Chorley, I had forgotten the password I had nominated when I opened the account. This was exacerbated by some IT problems the Chorley were having. Their staff were really helpful and friendly and got it sorted for me in a day or two. Really refreshing to have good customer service and a friendly voice. Reviewed on: 1st November 2023

Excellent Customer Service

I had to call the building Society as there were problems with a new savings account. What makes things difficult is that I have a nuerological condition that can sometimes get in the way of everyday task. The call was handled by Amanda, who took me step by step through what I needed to do. Amanda was very patient and waited for me to complete each step of the process which probably took longer than someone without the issues I have. I am grateful for her patience. Many Thanks M Reviewed on: 31st October 2023

Loved that I could walk into branch and talk to someone about setting up my savings accounts. All sorted easily and in a friendly way. No online faffing about or codes to enter. Great! ID checks were swift and simple, good product information. Also love the passbooks!. Reviewed on: 26th October 2023

Not great

Opened an ISA account, then had all sorts of issues logging in. Thought it might be to do with cookies, there was no option to reject and the 'read more' took me to a google search page! This appears to have been fixed now but not very reassuring at the time. Went elsewhere on a lower interest rate. Shame Reviewed on: 25th October 2023

Superb Customer service by your staff

Had to make a repeat phone call this morning 25/10/2023 to try and gain access to my new product which I could not access. A previous member of staff in my first call the day before told me that your 'IT' department were experiencing issues with the acceptance of the OTAC code? and that she would call me back with a resolution which did not happen hence my repeat call today to the lovely Georgina. What can I say other than thank you! Georgina you are a real star and credit to the company you work for. From the moment you took my call this morning, you listened, you reassured me and you resolved the issue efficiently without fuss and with the upmost professionalism. Offering to remain on the call with me whilst guiding me through re-registration was both extremely helpful and demonstrates your desire to provide the upmost and best customer care you clearly consider necessary. Confirming everything with follow up messages reinforced the reassurance you clearly achieved during the call with me. Chorley Building Society need to roll out the red carpet, bring out the trumpeter’s and sound the fanfare, because you are a star. Thank you. Kindest regards Steve Reviewed on: 25th October 2023
