Reviews for Hinckley & Rugby Building Society have trended positively 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  • Account opening relies heavily on paper forms and cheques which feels outdated.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.

We wanted to open Regular savings accounts for our 4 Grandchildren and make transfers from existing accounts. Questions asked online were answered very promptly [Thanks Jennifer], and then forms collected from Hinckley Branch for later completion. Both visits were very positive. Good explanations of the accounts and processes and processing of the paperwork. [Thanks Kasey and Jade]. The new accounts were visible online by the next day. Read more Read less
