Review of the Chorley Building Society, Savings:

Postal & Branch Accessible Saver account

3
The information sheet states this saver account can be withdrawn without notice at any time. It does not clarify what happens to existing savers: [1] will savings be frozen or savers expected to transfer to another (Chorley BS) account, [2] will further deposits be allowed by existing savers, [3] will interest continue to accrued? There is no reference I could find to a Pass Book being issued - it is issued. There was no description of how funds can be withdrawn as cash, by cheque or by electronic transfer, what notice is required & the maximum limits by each method. I got the answers to these questions from one of the branch cashiers. Reviewed on: 16th August 2019

Friendly staff, easy to deal with, knowledgeable staff and available nearby parking. Chair at the counter, really good service. Well trained staff. No appointment necessary. Wish all financial services were as good as Chorley BS. Your member of staff who helped me was excellent. Passbooks. User friendly. Not online access. Reviewed on: 17th May 2024
