Modest in Size. Big in Heart.

I have been a member for many years. Always a joy to deal with. For family reasons I no longer live in Bath, and actually miss having opportunities to pop into the branch. But the on-line service is excellent with real - named - people at the other end! Reviewed on: 4th April 2023

Not all societies are the same :-)

Refreshing to be with a building society who seem happy to pass benefits in savings to their customers. Almost as soon as new rates are announced, Bath building society announce they are ‘upping’ their savings rates where other financial institutes selfishly covet and hold on to as much profit as they can.

All transactions carried out by post which I know is s bit old fashioned these days,but the society has always responded in a fast, efficient manner that is very satisfying for someone like me who feel comfortable and in good hands managing my savings account in such a way.

Superb organization whose size is key to it's success. My wife and I have been mortgage customers for 17 years. We also had a 'Buy for Uni' mortgage for my daughter which worked very well. No overseas call centre, direct telephone numbers provide access to very helpful/knowledgable staff, competive mortgage deals, reasonable charges. The organization must be a pleasant place to work as they retain their staff thereby provided consistent contacts. Bath Building Society definately get my vote! Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023

Good ... but a faster response to prevailing market conditions needed

5
Good response from Chat (Jane) without any wait time. However, Bath BS has been slow to response to Bank of England base rate changes, specifically on Regular Saver. There are many higher rate products out there without the load of investment & w/d limits. The nature of a continuing regular saver makes it much harder to ditch, as the rate may change in response to the market and all the customer's hard work accumulate a savings pot over years will be lost. But the customer cannot wait forever; thus, I have marked this for review before next month's payment. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023
Reply from Bath Building Society Thank you for your generous feedback. When it comes to our Savings products, we do respond as quickly as we can to changes in any Bank of England base rate changes and other changes in the market. Our aim, unlike many of our competitors, is to provide long term fair value and also we are trying to mindful of the difficult times our borrowing members are facing. I am certain you will be able to find better rates elsewhere but in most cases those firms paying the highest rates do so for a limited period only. We don't and won't play that game. I want our members to save with us for the longer term knowing that they will always be treated fairly and paid competitive rates. I believe we are achieving this as I know that most of our products consistently pay well above average rates and even this week some of our products were in 'best rate' tables of some national newspapers. Should you wish to discuss this further then please let me know. Regards, Colin McDougall Response date: 4th April 2023
