SAVER BEWARE

Phone calls go unanswered. Leave a message and wait 'days' for an email response. Most unhelpful IF and when you talk to a person Reviewed on: 17th December 2024

Reply from Mansfield Building Society We’re sorry to hear that your experience has not been to the standard that we would typically expect. Can you call us on 01623 676350 or email us at [email protected] so that we can investigate this further for you moving forward. Response date: 23rd January 2025

ISA closed without ever being opened!

I applied by post fora postal isa on 28 October porting my old skipton isa over. I have heard nothing until today when I got an email with this survey saying sorry you have closed your account! Seriously?!? I filled in your contact form this morning - no one has replied emailed or called me. Terrible. I have no idea what is going on! I can’t open a new isa until I know this one hasn’t been opened. Terrible terrible service. Reviewed on: 15th November 2024

Reply from Mansfield Building Society Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, we’re sorry we haven’t lived up to your expectations. Due to managing extremely high volumes of applications an administrative error meant a second account was opened and closed before we had the chance to inform you that the first account was successfully opened. Additionally, a customer satisfaction survey was sent to you as we had closed this second account. We regret these mistakes and apologise for any frustration that this caused you. Should you have any further concerns, please contact us on 01623 676350 or email us at [email protected] and we will be happy to investigate this further for you. Response date: 27th November 2024

10 days ago I posted my cash isa passbook to Mansfield Building Society head office to be updated. - I am still waiting for it to be returned to me. Reviewed on: 15th November 2024

Reply from Mansfield Building Society Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, we’re sorry we haven’t met your expectations on this occasion. We are experiencing high demand at the moment and this is leading to our customer service levels not being at the standards that customers should expect. We are following up on all applications and requests, so please bear with us and thank you for your patience. In the meantime if you would like us to look into this further, please contact us on 01623 676350 or email us at [email protected] and we will be happy to investigate this for you.

AVOID! This bank is totally set in the past.

This bank is totally set in the past. They mess about with little passbooks and still send cheques in the post. You will waste so much time with this bank and their antiquated processes and mindsets. Reviewed on: 5th November 2024

Reply from Mansfield Building Society Thank you for taking time to feedback to us. Our member’s opinions are very important to us. As a Mutual Building Society passbooks and cheques are an important part of our savings portfolio and many of our members enjoy this type of access. However we understand that some members want a quicker service and in these cases, they may benefit from our digital proposition. Please can you contact us on 01623 676 363 or email on [email protected] so we can discuss our online options with you. Response date: 6th November 2024

Disappointed

I am used to working with banks that are electronic and you can open accounts instantly online. Having to wait for the post to receive log in details did not work. The account numbers were confusing not the standard 8 numbers it appeared and when i sent money to my supposed new account the money never reached its destination and it was returned. Bad experience Reviewed on: 29th November 2023

Reply from Mansfield Building Society Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, we’re sorry we haven’t lived up to your expectations this time. To send payments into a Mansfield account, your account number must be used as the roll/reference, if this is not included then the payment would be returned. We’d like the opportunity to expand on this, and discuss the issues raised directly. Please contact us on 01623 676363 and ask for the Online Savings Customer Service Manager or email us at [email protected] Response date: 30th November 2023

Very poor communication

We gave notice to withdraw some money and the cheques sat in the building Society even though we asked for them to be posted to us. We had to ring up to find out where they were. We then gave notice to close the account several months later and told the building Society we we collect the cheques. A few days prior to the notice period ending we confirmed we would be collecting the cheques and gave a day/time for collecting. We then received a call the following day confirming everything is O.K. We went to collect them and discovered the cheques had been posted out to us???. Not sure why there is a serious breakdown in communication. Reviewed on: 3rd November 2023

Problems receiving money when closing account

To close accounts, the Mansfield doesn't transfer money by fast payments; only by CHAPS (at a charge) or cheques (that take a long time in the post). Reviewed on: 9th October 2023

Reply from Mansfield Building Society Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback, we’re sorry that your experience hasn’t met your expectations. Whilst we are currently unable to offer faster payment options for all savers, we are reviewing this alongside system developments to be able to offer this in the future.

Bad

I opened an account. Sent a deposit. It didn't appear. I panicked. I phoned. Nobody knew why it hadn't appeared, and they didn't seem to be very interested. After two days missing, it showed up. I didn't relish all that stress. I couldn't get it back fast enough. Not only will I never again go anywhere near you, you've put me off Building Societies as keepers of my cash Reviewed on: 3rd October 2023
