NOT WORTH SAVING ALL THE LOST INTEREST GOING TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

1
Appallingly the Bath Building Society disproportionately reduces savings interest rates. The derisory low interest rate on savings is the true test of serving members/customers not with the untrustworthy marketing words and the Bath Building Society FAILS the test, it acts more like a BIG BAD BANK. Savers are paramount, without their cash the Building Society way collapses and hence reward them with a worthwhile interest rate for THEIR CASH, which is NOT the current state. Reviewed on: 8th June 2020
Reply from Bath Building Society Thank you for your feedback. It simply is not true to say that we have disproportionately reduced our interest rates. All of our rates are competitive and are reviewed on a regular basis to ensure that remains the case. It was as a result of such a review that we last week increased the rates on our 60 Day notice account from 0.60% to 0.80% AER despite the Bank of England base rate being at all time low of 0.10%. Even this weekend we were featured in the The Mail's 'Best Buy' tables for our Junior ISA account. If you compare any of our savings rates with comparable accounts offered by the high street banks I am certain that we will compare very favourably. If this is not the case then please contact me directly and I will review this. You are however correct in saying that savers are key and more than that, most of our savers are actually members and as such 'owners'. Our profits are only ever paid back to our members in interest or reinvested for the long term sustainability of the Society. We do not have any other shareholders! As well as having competitive accounts I am pleased to confirm that we have some new accounts being launched in the next few weeks that will further demonstrate our commitment both to our loyal members but also to encouraging the savings habits of our younger members. Please watch your inbox! Colin McDougall, Head of Marketing and Savings. Response date: 8th June 2020

Filling the gap

I am able to create saving accounts for my friends' children that shows the accumulated amounts in their own books that can be presented on their 18th birthdays. I can't do this anywhere else. This is a great service for me. Reviewed on: 8th June 2020
Reply from Bath Building Society What a fantastic gift for your friend's children, we are happy we could help you do this. Holly, Customer Support Department Response date: 11th June 2020

Withdrawal templates

5
It was only when I couldn't access my local branch that I went to your website to download an account withdrawal form. Unfortunately it seems I have to write a letter to head office. I'm very capable of doing this but found it unusual not to be able to access a template for the purpose. If for no other reason it gives a prompt to your customer of what information is required. Other than that very happy with the service (I usually use the Staple Hill branch and always find them very helpful). Reviewed on: 7th June 2020
Reply from Bath Building Society Thanks for your feedback. We are on it. We are going to review all of our 'forms' that relate to withdrawals and payments, we will improve them and add them to our website. It may take a few weeks but it will be done.
