Savings Bond

I opened a 3 year savings bond today at Hinckley and Rugby BS and found the whole process quick and easy. Everyone knew what they were doing and the whole process took less than 20 minutes. Attractive rate and First Class service! Reviewed on: 25th November 2023

Fantastic Personal Pragmatic Service from a Proper Building Society

The calls are picked up swiftly and all of the team provide every assistance within an impossible and highly frustrating regulatory framework. The proactivity in terms of calls from them to navigate through the forms and identity verification in the context of the timeframes in a dynamic interest rate environment is exceptional. We sacrificed a small amount of interest in the last few savings decisions because the team at H&R make life so much easier and instill such confidence. Reviewed on: 24th November 2023

Competitive rates, excellent customer service

Welcome phone call to acknowledge receipt of application for a savings account. My only comment is that the Society asks for hardcopy applications rather than the online application process offered by many competitors, and issue of a passbook is definitely a traditional - perhaps outdated - business model, though no doubt welcome to customers that are less digitally confident Reviewed on: 23rd November 2023

Great customer service and values

Really great service from Mandy from the moment my call was answered to the point, a few hours later, where I had completed my application for a new savings Bond. Nothing was too much trouble and timescales were flexed to accommodate me. Very much appreciated, and great to see that face-to-face customer service is still valued and prized at HRBS. Reviewed on: 22nd November 2023

RosT

I would highly recommend the Hinkley and Rugby Building Society. I recently opened a saving account and the process was quick, easy and efficient ( and a great rate ) . From start to finish it took less than 48 hours to make the application, deposit the money and have all the necessary checks completed. I made the application by mail and received a phone call from customer service the next morning advising me that my application had been received and would be processed that day. Great service.
