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  • Account opening relies heavily on paper forms and cheques which feels outdated.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.

Had problems with joining the on-line system. Phone answered quite quickly and spoke to a real person ( big tick) and issue resolved within reasonable time. I have a decent return on my investment - so what's not to like. However, it's not my job to recommend HRBS - as it won't suit everyone Read more Read less
