Their savings products often offer competitive rates and clear explanations, making customers feel valued.

They can't do electronic ISA transfers-out

Savings 21st September 2026

Everything went well with my cash ISA until I wanted to transfer it elsewhere, and found that Mansfield Building Society will NOT make electronic transfers.... Everything went well with my cash ISA until I wanted to transfer it elsewhere, and found that Mansfield Building Society will NOT make electronic transfers. The new ISA provider only accepts electronic transfers, so I had to leave my money with Mansfield until I found an alternative provide with a good interest rate who still was willing to process transfers by the old-fashioned method.

    Professional Trustworthy Organisation

    Very helpful staff. Resolved my queries well. My only reason for not giving 5 stars was, at times, not able to reach the nominated adviser... Very helpful staff. Resolved my queries well. My only reason for not giving 5 stars was, at times, not able to reach the nominated adviser in the Trust Department. Staff on the main business number, did not seem fully trained in Trust account issues. They were equally helpful, but just had to pass messages on. It would have been very helpful at the time, if there had been other staff to deputise during absences or holidays. Read more Read less

Our home was valued independently at £1.3 million and the mortgage we wished to arrange is just 13% of this. You insisted that we arranged legal advice, we were advised this was because we were at retirement age. We duly did so using our family solicitor, but you rejected this and we were forced to incur costs of £360 because you would only accept evidence of legal advice from the actual solicitors arranging the conveyance (Gorvins). It is unclear to us why this was necessary, we suspect it was a result of overly pedantic rules, and we incurred unnecessary costs for a simplistic question and answer question that we are fully able to understand. Our view is that the cost was unnecessary, incurred by overly pedantic rules that did nothing to enhance your level of assurance. We believe it would be appropriate for you to recognise this and refund the extra fees, and ask that you do so. Read more Read less
