Visiting Bath Building Society can be a pleasurable experience even if it is to withdraw money. The desk staff are so friendly, professional and efficient. One member of staff has been with the society for over 25 years and you receive a very warm welcome as you enter. It is almost as if the people there are your family. Now aged 83 years I have been a member since my mother introduced me as a child. Continuous membership of seven decades says it all. Read more Read less
