Melton Building Society Savings reviews (2293)

Competitive rates but archaic application process

3
Opening a new savings account as a new customer felt like a return to the 1980s. Application was via post including a cheque. I received account details via post, but had to phone to request an online sign-in password. Line was busy, so they called me back several hours later. Customer support staff member was nice and helpful, but the whole process was dated and inconvenient in a modern digital world. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2025

I wanted to visit the branch but when I got there it was closed for staff training. It is a 20 mile round trip to the nearest and there is no help to get on line. Not good enough! When I have been in before they have said I had to book an appointment. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2025

Like the high interest rates. Would like you to make it easier to have nominated bank account for withdrawals on my account (could not set on up easily). Reviewed on: 13th January 2025

Just spoke to Keira at the Melton Mowbray branch. What a very helpful lady. I have rang a few building societies over the years and I can honestly say Keira was by far the most helpful person I have ever dealt with. Reviewed on: 4th January 2025

I would prefer that the money is invested for a full year. Also, the cheque I sent to open the account was rejected and I was charged �15 for this!. Reviewed on: 1st January 2025

I like it that you have branches and passbooks, not everything has to be online. Reviewed on: 31st December 2024
