Mansfield Building Society Savings reviews (1294)

Cut in interest rates

3
When one can get better interest rates from NS&I (backed by the Government and therefore 100% secure) than from a building society it’s time to move your money. Reviewed on: 9th June 2020

Usually very competitive, but currently rather unappealing

4
Regular Savings Account currently unavailable. Refusal to supply Section 975 Certificates is an on-going annoyance Reviewed on: 8th June 2020
Reply from Mansfield Building Society Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear of your frustrations regarding the Section 975 Certificate. With the introduction of the Personal Savings Allowance by the government in 2016, we are no longer able to offer this service. However, we are more than happy to write a letter of confirmation for all interest earned. Please contact us on 01623 676303 to discuss in more detail. Response date: 10th June 2020

My view

MBS provides excellent customer service by phone, post and email to me. Disapointed that they have reduced regular saver interest rates recently. Reviewed on: 29th May 2020

Poor returns for savers

3
My savings account matured, sent forms to put into another account assume it's been done though I've had no correspondence to confirm. New account interest rate not great. Reviewed on: 28th May 2020

Not easy to transfer ISA

4
Obviously the rates on all finance have been reduced but when I received the new rate for my easy cash ISA it was so lie I added if there were any other ISA's I could transfer it to do I wouldn't lose the tax exemption but was told I that although there was a new fixed rate ISA that would pay 0.70% I couldn't transfer into it was only for new customers. I did not want to lose my years ISA allowance so I decided to transfer my ISA's & then this took much longer as apart from sending pass books back Mansfield did not electronic transfer. Reviewed on: 28th May 2020

Excellent, professional and friendly

5
Perfect in every respect. Friendly and professional. Reviewed on: 26th May 2020

Friendly staff

5
Everyone provides a pleasant friendly service. Reviewed on: 26th May 2020

Reasonable experience

3
This investment was set up by a third party company. The main problem we encountered was following a house move when our new address was not accepted by Mansfield Building Society. We had untold problems sorting this out. Reviewed on: 26th May 2020

Sorry to say goodbye

4
Decided to move my ISA accounts elsewhere due to the interest rate offered being reduced and no longer able to support a local brand as elsewhere I can get double the interest rate with instant access. Reluctant to move to online provider as have been a savings customer with Mansfield since birth. I do have though savings accounts still with Mansfield on behalf of my 2 children. As a society you need to be like any other business competitive within the market place. Reviewed on: 26th May 2020

Straight forward and efficient by post.

5
It would have been nice to hear a voice to say all received and passbook in the post. I have always appreciated the personal touch. Reviewed on: 26th May 2020
