The whole process of setting up a Trust account took almost 3 months although there were a couple of very small delays while documents/ID was sent/received but I felt I was doing so much chasing/emailing as replies were not received when I'd been told they would be. Person dealing with it had several intermittent days of annual leave but I wasn't told until after each event. I wasn't really kept in the picture at all. One reason for the delay was given as the "high volume of trust applications" but maybe they shouldn't accept more than they can cope with. One of the Trustees had to send original paperwork for ID/proof of address but these have not been returned. Read more Read less

    My Milestone Saver opened by post, would ideally prefer this to be available online.

Staff have always been lovely and really helpful, only closed my account because I wanted to put all my savings towards a new car. Would definitely use the Mansfield building society, Sutton-in-Ashfield branch. I set my little girl a lifetime ISA up there, so I'll continue to use this branch for her deposits.

I live at the other end of Nottinghamshire, but was attracted by the Mansfield Building Society when, some years ago, it offered postal savings services. Since then it has fulfilled by hopes and aims with your support and assistance. I am an octogenarian with limited digital knowledge so a service where I can speak and discuss my savings is exactly what I was looking for, and you have never elt me down. Many thanks Read more Read less
