Outdated and slow processing

1
Other Savings institutions have fast modern systems not relying on outdated passbooks which can be lost in the post and none now use cheques for withdrawals. Not only does it delay the recipient’s receipt of funds while the cheque clears it’s unfair as the Mansfield benefits from the extra interest. I am still waiting on 02.06.2023 for a cheque for the proceeds of an account which matured on 27.05.2023 which is unacceptable and this causes me to lose money. The majority of efficient institutions use a linked verified nominated bank account which is used for deposits thereby complying with Moneylaundering requirements and for withdrawals so that a BACS payment is received within 48 hours. Outdated processes are a disincentive to invest with the Mansfield. Reviewed on: 2nd June 2023

Misplaced money

3
Upon maturity of a bond we gave instruction in branch to move to a new fixed rate bond, over a year later we were informed that it hadn’t been placed as instructed and confirmed at the time! Very surprised that this could happen in a regulated building society! Mansfield made up the difference in interest but confidence lost. Reviewed on: 2nd June 2023

Small is beautiful

5
I was approached to write a review because I closed an account. The account type in question was Easy Access Cash ISA. I closed it because it had only a small balance, it attracted a very modest rate of interest and I had neither deposited nor withdrawn for seven months. However, the catalyst to closing the account was opening another one, this time Postal Savings 35 Issue 2. This account presented the opportunity to deposit a good lump sum on medium-term call-up at an attractive rate of interest. And I love the concept of transactions by post only! I have tried to support the Mansfield over the years because I do believe that small is beautiful. In this regard, I remain disappointed by a decision the Society took some years ago to appoint London-based auditors rather than a local firm. If you wish to promote a local image, you should put your money where your mouth is. Otherwise, I have nothing but praise for the Mansfield. I believe its range of accounts to be attractive, it seems to be well-managed and the re-vamping of its corporate image in the green livery is a masterstroke. I look forward to supporting the Society while ever I am able. Reviewed on: 2nd June 2023

Friendly and efficient service

I was given options and advice in a clear, friendly manner and with no pressure. I was already a customer and this experience in opening two new account reinforced my views that keeping it local is a very good thing Reviewed on: 2nd June 2023
