Review of the Bath Building Society, Savings:

You were there for me when it counted...

Several years ago I was made redundant and couldn't find another job for three months. I contacted BBS and they couldn't have been more understanding and made an arrangement with me about my Mortgage which took so much stress away from the situation, which I'll never forget. THANK YOU! :-) Reviewed on: 1st April 2023

The people that work there are so helpful and friendly.

I visited the Oldfield Park branch recently and was served by Ella. The people who work there are so helpful and friendly. However, the standard of IT was not great. Something went wrong and the young lady said ‘Error’ came up on her screen and she then had to complete the transaction manually which took a long time. Reviewed on: 7th October 2025

I almost gave up applying for an ISA account.

I almost gave up applying for an ISA account. The online form filling is unreliable, had to be restarted, entering information is not obvious, text boxes are faint, entering DOB should be easy but not here. The website design is not appealing and doesn't inspire confidence. Reviewed on: 5th October 2025

Reply from Bath Building Society Hi Judith Thank you for your feedback, and I'm really sorry to hear about your experience with the ISA account application process. We understand how frustrating it is when a digital form doesn’t work as it should, especially when it involves something as important as your savings. I hope you've been able to open your ISA account since leaving your feedback. If not, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly - either by email at [email protected] or by phone on 01225 330014 and I’ll be happy to assist you with setting it up. Your comments about the form reliability, design clarity, and user interface are very important to us. I’ll make sure this is passed on to the relevant teams so they can look into improving the experience.

Came into the Wood Street branch to open a Junior ISA for my daughter. Ella was most helpful and even helped me negotiate the steps with the pushchair. My daughter was also thrilled with the pink piggie bank! I was also impressed with the timescales for the account to be opened - today! Reviewed on: 3rd October 2025

Reply from Bath Building Society Thank you for sharing your experience at the Wood Street branch! We're pleased to hear that Ella was able to assist you so helpfully - even with the pushchair!

Honestly the online experience is so clunky in comparison to competitors. Hodge for instance where everything works first time. The drop down menu on the application form doesn't have my country of birth so I was told to choose another one! There is no chat or phone support after 17:00. The payment-in system isn't compatible with my bank so my bank doesn't recognise the details of the account I'm paying into. I've paid a small amount in as a test and it's going to take 24 hours before I'm sure it works. I'm trying to set up a £20k ISA for goodness sake! Reviewed on: 2nd October 2025

Reply from Bath Building Society Hi Philip, Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that your experience has not been smooth and that we’ve fallen short of your expectations. We aim to provide a simple and reliable online service, so I completely understand how frustrating it is to experience difficulties with the application process. Your comments have been shared with the team and we will be reviewing the issues you’ve raised, including the drop-down options in the form. We can investigate the payment-in service not being recognised by your bank straight away. Our team can ensure everything is set up correctly so you have complete peace of mind when making transactions. Please contact me directly at [email protected] or by phone on 01225 330014 and I’ll be happy to assist further. Thank you again for your honest feedback. It’s invaluable in helping us improve our services. Chris Burns – Customer Service Officer Response date: 3rd October 2025
