I'd spoken with Ginny and booked a mtg. at the Monmouth Branch to discuss potential ISA products and options. I was warmly welcomed upon arrival by Nicky, Mandy & Ginny, something that put me at ease and ready for the mtg. Mandy took me to an office for our mtg and we covered ISA options, pro's and cons and how Monmouthshire Bldg Soc operates in that product space. Following our mtg i'm better informed, confident in the potential benefits and likely to proceed with a Monmouthshire Bldg Soc ISA. The welcome. knowledge and excellent customer focused approach of staff at the Monmouth branch is very much appreciated. Whilst we have a mortgage with the Monmouthshire Bldg Soc. i look forward to adding ISA product/s in future. Well worth the in person visit and will visit the branch in future Read more Read less
