Excellent interest rates, variety of accounts and easy to open and manage accounts. Always easy to contact with friendly, knowledgeable and helpful call centre staff Reviewed on: 23rd January 2024

Poor rates, poor service.

Poor rates, poor service. Lack of operatives to take calls in business hours. This society appears to live in a self congratulatory bubble. They need to understand they are not special, not good and start with the basics. Anything else is akin to narcissism. Reviewed on: 28th January 2025

Reply from Leek Building Society Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and we’re sorry to hear that our rates and service levels didn’t meet your expectations. As a mutual building society, we need to balance the needs of both our savers and our mortgage borrowers and always aim to provide competitive interest rates for both. We’re sorry that – at the present time – our interest rates are not at the level you’re looking for. We understand your concerns about the availability of our operatives during business hours and are committed to addressing this issue. Thank you for bringing your experience to our attention and we’ll use your feedback to help deliver an improved service for all of our members. Kind Regards Rob @ Leek BS Response date: 29th January 2025

Leek Derby Street

I can not fault the team at leek derby street branch today. They were so attentive and supportive whilst dealing with my family bereavement. They made a very difficult time a lot easier and went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled in the correct way. I loved I was spoken to in an office and dealt with in private away from the busier areas of the branch. Thank you so much to the team Reviewed on: 28th January 2025

Excellent building society

Leek united building society always has excellent savings accounts which always suit my needs. Going into local branches is easy and the staff are always friendly. Reviewed on: 25th January 2025

Not bad for a local building society.

Started saving for a specific reason and decided to try out this local building society. It was a fast process to get my savings account set up. Not as fast as the national organisations but still fairly good. Online web app is very basic, would of been great in 2010, but honestly it's simple and not overcomplicated and actually I quite like that. An actual app for android/iphone, rather than a web app would be way more secure and easier though. I like the security's of the memorable word, but I still think 2 factor authentication needs to be implemented via a code sent to smartphone. Major flaw: Money doesn't show in savings account when deposited straight away, leaving your cash in limbo for a few hours until it shows. This is very different to most savings accounts that show up instantly. This always makes you a tad nervous when you deposit. I do like the fact you can withdraw money both in person and online. Overall it's not bad. Reviewed on: 25th January 2025
