Bath Building Society Savings reviews (2061)

Good account for first time buyers

4
I have a couple of accounts with the bath building society. The Homestart one for first time buyers has a decent rate. The other account (regulat saver), the rate is not so competitive. I can check my balance online. It is good that I am allowed to make a withdrawal once or twice a year if needed. Reviewed on: 14th September 2024
