Can only do this via app, it's absolutely rubbish. Clunky. Keeps freezing. Can't add my code via a text into two step authentication as box to do so is just a box & won't accept any text. Money paid in takes ages to appear on account, app down for maintenance throughout the day. I'm closing the account as it's too stressful to use. Read more Read less

We have been members of the Society for 6 years, and are now seeking to move, home. Claire, our mortgage advisor has been fantastic, and very efficient. I would say that whilst you might not necessarily get the best rates when compared to other lenders, they are still competitive and provide a far more personal service, which is worth more to us than a percentage point. Overall, I would not hesitate to recommend Monmouthshire Building Society. Read more Read less

We visited the Brecon branch to reinvest our savings We were seen by Ally who gave us excellent advise and talked us through and explained our options She dealt with our queries efficiently and professionally and we felt that our custom was important to her . We always find that face to face meetings about our investments suit us better than going online We have dealt with several employees including Zoe and we are always happy with the experience we get in the Brecon branch They are always very helpful respectful and nothing I too much trouble for them They are a credit to the Building society Read more Read less

I visited Queen St, Cardiff today without an appointment about half an hour before closing. I was initially told that sadly it was too late to open a new ISA account. But as I had recently updated my details in a recent branch, Vicky took me through the process and managed to get all the paperwork done before closing - saving me from having to come back another day. Thank you Read more Read less

Leon has been brilliant from the start - called me when he said he would, responded to emails, sent me the information required, and explained everything with detail & confidence; making an often difficult and stressful process as stress-free as possible. He has responded to my many questions, providing the clarity I needed, and has explained next steps and what’s required of me. Ownership, clear next steps, and timescales, are very important to me in customer service - all of which were provided in a friendly and professional manner! Thank you very much! Read more Read less

Turned out we could do the job there & then, over the counter......Very positive result! Read more Read less
