Review of the Mansfield Building Society, Savings:

Just great service in the chesterfield branch

Just great service in the chesterfield branch Reviewed on: 17th December 2024

A lot to be desired

On trying to open an ISA account, I received no indication that the application was going forward or had been received for over 2 weeks and trying to phone them was extremely difficult as you are put on hold and then eventually a message to say to leave your number and someone would contact you - never happened. My first response was from the previous ISA provider (who transferred the money) saying my account was closed. I then phoned again and after 3 attempts managed to get through to someone who informed me that i would be receiving a pass book in the next few days. I did eventually receive the book and on checking the amount sent from the previous provider found that it was 200 pounds short! Another arduous amount of time taken to phone again I explained to somebody the situation, and on them checking was apologised to and another pass book was sent. On top of all that I discovered that the account should have been opened 2 days before it actually was, which would have lost the interest for that period as ISA transfer interest paid must be seamless. It's a shame but you can't take anything for granted these days. Reviewed on: 11th December 2023

OPENING OF DUAL ACCESS SAVER ISA (ISSUE ONE)

Opened this account approx 13th of November doing an ISA transfer from Yorkshire Building Society, who contacted me to say they would be sorry to loose me , but account was closed and interest paid up till the 16th of November with funds transfer to The Mansfield. Then got contact from yourselves saying account now open, but from the 21st of November, which means 6 days of interest lost !, approx £65, not happy, none of this mentioned when opening the account.

Reply from Mansfield Building Society Thank you for sharing your feedback. As part of a review into our ISA processes, we have recognised that transfers made by cheque may experience a slight delay compared to those made via electronic payment methods due to the time it takes for the cheque to be posted and cleared through the banking system. In light of this review, we are contacting affected customers directly over the course of the next few weeks and will be in touch with you shortly. Response date: 18th December 2023

I moved my money to an even better account and put in more money, so I was surprised to be asked why I had closed the old account. Reviewed on: 9th December 2023
