I was delighted to discover that a branch had been opened in Bridgnorth, my home town, and very pleased to have an account that still offers a passbook - old habits die hard! It would be lovely to have longer opening hours, but I understand why this may not be possible at such an early stage of the Dudley Building Society presence. All of the staff I have encountered have been very warm and friendly as well as very efficient and knowledgeable. In previous years I had travelled to the Perton branch and found a very similar situation. I do like the flexibility of being able to log on and check things when the branches are not open, and I have found this very easy to use, being clear and informative. Read more Read less

My wife has postal accounts with the Dudley and I help her with the admin. The service we get from the Dudley is consistently excellent. In particular, the turnround / response times when opening accounts and/or depositing funds is absolutely first class. Everything gets dealt with as soon as the Dudley receives whatever we've sent and documents (e.g. updated passbooks) are returned equally promptly - always with an easy to follow covering letter. In our fairly broad experience of postal savings, no-one does it better than the Dudley. We're impressed and grateful for the service. Read more Read less

Very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful branch staff, talked me through the various products on offer and assisted me during the process to set up accounts. The team made me feel at ease. Nice to deal with a local business, not prone to "global corporation" issues. Strongly recommend to consider for savings options. Read more Read less

Have several savings accounts from Dudley. Very impressed with the customer service. Have been to several branches and always sorted things. Would be good if they could take the initial payment into an account when opening it but it seems that's a head office rule. The staff were able to provide a workaround. Online service is available. Certainly recommend for savings. Probably worth telling them in advance if you plan to take a while opening accounts Read more Read less
