Reviews for Monmouthshire Building Society have trended negatively over the past 90 days

Monmouthshire Building Society shines with its friendly, helpful staff and the comfort of local branches where you can get face-to-face advice. People really appreciate the personal touch and the ease of dealing with knowledgeable teams in Savings and Mortgages. However, the app and online services frustrate many, with slow transactions and tricky login issues, while some mortgage experiences have been less than smooth.

Positive themes

  • Monmouthshire Building Society Savings staff are friendly, helpful, and make visits a pleasure. (71 mentions)
  • Having local branches for face-to-face service is a huge plus for Monmouthshire Savings. (82 mentions)

Negative themes

Anita was not only professional, she was accommodating around our busy work schedules and made the whole process incredibly smooth. Above all, it was Anita’s personality that really stood out for us; Anita was so bubbly and personable and had such an infectious laugh! Anita took the time to get to know us, remembered some big life moments (my partners 30th birthday) and even after the process was done, Anita took the time to congratulate us on our new home. We were so grateful to Anita for keeping the flare and excitement for our new home alive - it really is the little things that mean the most. Anita was nothing short of brilliant throughout and is a true asset to Monmouthshire. We would both like to say a massive thank you to Anita for all that she did for us and we love our new home!

This is about setting up the new app -- very good experience - easy to follow steps - good that various otps's required.
