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.
  • Bath Building Society offers competitive savings rates that many find attractive.
  • Having local branches with face-to-face service is a big plus for Bath Building Society.

Negative themes

  • The Bath Building Society app and website often cause frustration with glitches and poor usability.
  • Online account access problems and re-registration issues have left many customers locked out.
  • Mortgage processes can be slow and overly scrutinised causing delays and stress.

He only passed 3 weeks ago and I really didn’t know how I was going to cope with all the paperwork I would be expected to complete. Jane took me into a private room and over a cup of tea she reassured me and helped me complete the forms required. I would like to say that all dealings I have had with Bath Building Society have been excellent and nothing is too much trouble - even when I popped into the temporary branch at Head Office whilst Wood Street was having a make over. Thank you so much again. Read more Read less

Filled in an ISA transfer form and signed and sent it off. But because of Royal Mail, and Bath stating I had only a limited time to fund my account, I telephoned Bath to cancel my application. Little did I know that Bath had gone ahead without my consent and knowledge. This caused me a 4 hour telephone call to different bank and building societies trying to track my matured missing ISA Read more Read less
