I have been with the Bath Building Society for around 5 years now. I have held an 18-24 savings account, where I had great interest rates, and more recently have opened a Lifetime ISA - both of which I have had no problems with. The branch is local, clean and the staff are friendly, and I especially like the ease of being able to access my accounts through the app and via the Bath Online portal. Read more Read less
