Reviews for Hinckley & Rugby Building Society have trended negatively over the past 90 days

Hinckley and Rugby really shine with their friendly, helpful staff who make opening savings accounts and handling mortgages a breeze. People love the personal touch and clear explanations, even if some wish for more digital options. On the downside, a few found mortgage processing slow and communication patchy, plus the old-school paper-based account setup can feel a bit clunky.

Positive themes

  • Hinckley and Rugby's staff are consistently friendly, helpful and make everything easy.
  • Opening savings accounts at Hinckley and Rugby is quick and staff explain everything clearly.
  • Mortgage service at Hinckley and Rugby is personal and supportive with clear advice.

Negative themes

  • Mortgage processing can be slow with poor communication causing stress for some.
  • Account opening relies heavily on paper forms and cheques which feels outdated.
  • Security concerns raised over phone disclosure of account details during account opening.

The process is a bit different than with other lenders which is fine as Hinkley do take a more 'bespoke' approach. However the sales team and underwriters all communicated brilliantly Read more Read less

    Great service & support .

    Absolutely excellent in helping me with my savings. As someone who has limited understanding of financial knowledge, Linda supported me without judgement. I can not thank her enough.

Very personable team, the support we received when going through a difficult time that was out of our control was just fabulous, so helpful, compassionate and understanding. We received regular calls to see how things were and if we needed support/ additional support. Speaking to the support team on the telephone was never a worrying experience. Our issues are now resolved and thankfully we are back on track. Without the support it would have certainly been a more stressful time Read more Read less
