It is so nice to be able to deal with REAL people instead of internet robots. To be able to go into a branch and be dealt with straight away instead of waiting on the phone in a queue. Reviewed on: 9th April 2025

Worth considering

The service in the branch was very good. I was on a strict time limit re the car park and the counter staff tried hard to accommodate that. Having said that the Hinckley and Rugby has limitations regarding its systems and procedures. For instance you can not open a savings product online. Also. it was a bit irritating that to open any new savings account you have to fill in a questionnaire comprising of several pages, even when I have been a customer for perhaps 30 years continuously, had an existing savings account and have held several over the years. The great majority of the information requested they would already have on their systems! Also, they are unable to update the old passbook with closing interest, give out the passbook for the new product, or make a payment to you in branch for the balance being withdrawn. These have to be posted out to you later. Reviewed on: 28th May 2025

Reply from Hinckley & Rugby Building Society Hello Bernard, Thank you very much for taking the time to pass on this considered feedback.

I have passed your comments on to our management team so they can be reviewed and taken into consideration.

Lutterworth Branch

I visited the Lutterworth Branch, to enquire about the differing accounts on offer, after receiving a letter regarding the change in interest rates. I had no qualms in keeping my savings in a local and trusted Building Society, especially with the Lutterworth Team, who are particularly helpful and articulate. Reviewed on: 21st May 2025

Staff in Broughton Astley were excellent, particularly Claire. H&R cannot do spousal ISA transfers in house. This has caused my father undue stress and complicated the whole bereavement process. Five stars for Claire. One star to H&R. Reviewed on: 15th May 2025
