Recent ISA interest rate drop to 0.6%

Leaves me with little option except but to look elsewhere and transfer the majority of my considerable savings to another ISA provider. You should offer a more realistic and higher interest rate. Reviewed on: 4th June 2020
Reply from Bath Building Society Thank you for your feedback. Clearly it is disappointing that you have chosen to move your funds elsewhere. I can confirm that we did not reduce our rates by more than the Bank of England reduction of 0.65%. At 0.50% above the Bank of England base rate, which is what it was before the rate cuts. As such, I still consider this to be a fair and competitive rate. Colin McDougall, Head of Marketing and Savings. Response date: 4th June 2020

Bath BS is one of the few remaining providers that instills a sense of trust and confidence. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a safe pair of hands to look after their savings. Reviewed on: 4th June 2020

any company that uses the BofE rate reduction to drop interest rate by 1.05 % is economic vandalism, totally unnecessary.. Online saver should not have been discontinued for zero good reason.

the Bath has always been a good , fair society putting members interests first, unlike some competitiors. Now they have joined the list of greedy selfish societies, a bad reflection on current management. When will we see a reinstatement of the popular online saver, offering decent savings rates? Reviewed on: 4th June 2020
Reply from Bath Building Society Thank you for your feedback. We deliberately discontinued the Online Saver account as part of a recent restructure of all our savings accounts. The reason we did this was that we do not believe it be fair to offer our best rates to a small number of our members who had the ability to access a channel that is not accessible to all. The result of this restructure was that over 70% of our members had an improved interest rate. All of our savings accounts can now be managed by whatever channel our customers choose be it in our branches/agencies by phone or via Bath Online. We now have a range of simple products with fair rates and I personally review these on a regular basis. If you do not need immediate access to your savings I am pleased to advise that this week we have increased the interest rate of our our 60 Day notice account from 0.60% to 0.80% AER. More details about this account can be found on our website. Colin McDougall, Head of Marketing and Savings. Response date: 4th June 2020

Great service, but interest rates plummeted...

It feels very personal. The phone is answered quickly, and questions are always answered. Obviously, though, the society need to offer a competitive interest rate! Reviewed on: 4th June 2020
Reply from Bath Building Society Thank you for your generous comments regarding our service. Clearly you are disappointed about our rates but I truly believe that our rates are competitive but with the Bank of England base rate at an all time low of 0.10% it is difficult to offer rates that you are going to get excited about. I can however confirm that this week we have increased the rate on our 60 Day notice account from 0.60% to 0.80% and if you keep an eye on your inbox we have some attractive new savings accounts that we will be launching in the next few weeks.
