Reviews for Bath Building Society have trended negatively over the past 90 days

Bath Building Society shines with its friendly, knowledgeable staff and the comfort of local branches where you can speak to real people. Their savings products offer decent rates and personal service that feels genuine. However, the online and app experience often frustrates users with glitches, slow updates, and difficult navigation, dampening an otherwise warm service.

Positive themes

  • Bath Building Society's staff are friendly, helpful and make banking a pleasure. (49 mentions)
  • Bath Building Society offers competitive savings rates that many find attractive. (10 mentions)
  • Having local branches with face-to-face service is a big plus for Bath Building Society. (8 mentions)

Negative themes

  • The Bath Building Society app and website often cause frustration with glitches and poor usability. (10 mentions)
  • Online account access problems and re-registration issues have left many customers locked out. (5 mentions)

Excellent service for a specialist mortgage. From the very first outreach about a 'Buy for Uni' mortgage, we were supported through the process. The information provided was comprehensive and Tim was quick with his responses to any questions. The meeting we had were detailed, and we had plenty of chance to ask questions. There was also excellent support in making the full application. Read more Read less

No doubt you will get this review removed as it seems you don't like negative reviews on this platform. Customer service is awful as you can never get hold of an agent which was never the case on the past when I tried to make a payment. I am not local so can not go into a branch. Why have things changed so much over the last few years? Read more Read less

I honestly can’t recommend Tim highly enough. From the very beginning, he took the time to understand my circumstances, patiently explained my options, and guided me through choosing the right mortgage. Nothing ever felt rushed, and he was always kind, approachable, and happy to answer my questions. Unfortunately, my flat sale fell through, meaning we had to start the whole process again. Just when everything was finally back on track, my mortgage offer expired, and I thought I was back to square one. Once again, Tim came to the rescue. He kept me calm, clearly explained what information was needed from me and the underwriters, liaised with everyone on my behalf, and worked incredibly hard to get everything back in place. What stood out most was how person-centred his approach was. He understood how stressful and emotional the whole process can be, especially when you’re trying to juggle work and everyday life at the same time. I always felt supported, informed, and reassured. Thanks to Tim’s dedication and persistence, we not only secured a new mortgage offer, but he also managed to keep the original interest rate, which was an amazing outcome and a huge relief. Thank you, Tim, for your professionalism, patience, kindness, and determination. Your support has meant far more than you probably realise. Read more Read less

We had a very unique set of circumstances that required a specialised mortgage. Tim took the time to truly listen and understand our situation from the start, unlike other lenders where you feel like just a number. Due to his professional knowledge he found the perfect solution for us where others might have struggled. His professional and caring approach made a stressful process so much easier.
