Review of the Mansfield Building Society, Savings:

Great Service

5
Easy to contact by phone, always friendly and helpful, things clearly and simply explained, no rush nor pressure, really appreciate being able to go into branch and open accounts via post, never pushed onto a computer/web site, not always necessary to have an appointment, good walk in service, branches warm and welcoming, it would be nice if the branches had longer opening times but I appreciate the financial implications. We attended the event at Mansfield FC - we were made to feel so valued and welcome by your staff and management - Thank you very much Reviewed on: 4th November 2024

Staff always very friendly and greet you as soon as you enter the branch. Offers very good advice. It is much better to invest in a local Building Society rather than a large impersonal one. Reviewed on: 12th December 2025

Went in the day before to ask the procedure for opening an account. Was offered a form to take home or could do it there. Took form home and returned the following day. Took my ID's with me. They were able to open my account on the spot. Maybe, because I always go into town early. Reviewed on: 12th December 2025

Simplicity

All very simple to renew the investment and have interest paid by cheque Reviewed on: 12th December 2025

LENGTH OF TIME TAKEN TO SET UP TRUST DEPOSIT ACCOUNT

3
The biggest issue with setting up a Trust Deposit account was the length of time it took, especially the period between when the checks on the numerous sponsors and beneficiaries had completed and the account set up and ready to accept funds. Basically I had almost a quarter of a million pounds sat in another banks Trust current account that I could not transfer to the Mansfield and thus cost a lot in missed opportunity to earn interest Reviewed on: 12th December 2025

no title as restricting word count unnaceptable

Rate competitiveness is always a factor in moving away but in my case it was the friction of the user experience ie withdrawals and time taken to action and receive in my current account. Others providers are better. I expect same day ability Reviewed on: 12th December 2025

Archaic savings procedures

2
Online Bonus Regular Saver requires signed closure letter. Get your signature a bit different and you’ll then need to provide certified ID. All done by post, withdrawal as a cheque. Stuck in the dark ages and much poorer than most other excellent small building societies, a shame really. Reviewed on: 11th December 2025
