Reviews for Monmouthshire Building Society have trended positively 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.
  • Having local branches for face-to-face service is a huge plus for Monmouthshire Savings.
  • Monmouthshire Mortgages offer professional and friendly service with clear explanations.

Negative themes

  • The Monmouthshire app is frustratingly unreliable and slow for Savings customers.
  • Mortgage service has been poor for some with slow responses and unhelpful communication.
  • Some find Monmouthshire Savings outdated and difficult to use compared to modern banks.

The Issue 8 Regular Saver account has been the most difficult account I have EVER tried to open; despite being a past, satisfied, MBS customer and still having a MBS on-line account. Before applying I checked and my account was still 'open'. I used my Web ID, password and memorable data to confirm. I assumed that I could open the new account within my on-line account. Wrong! Had to be opened in the App - that being the problem. After trying to use the App as an existing customer, and then as a new customer, I telephoned Customer Services several times. The App is a nightmare, requiring me to input a 6 digit code, a pin number, verification code, going through a 2 factor authorisation....I did eventually receive a NEW ID and a letter giving me an account number. I tried BOTH my, now, Web IDs, existing password and memorable data to open my accounts. In both cases, as an existing customer and as a new customer, I entered my personal details, bank details, communications preferences, acknowledged etc etc and when I submitted I was told that my attempt FAILED, and on more than 1 attempt in each case! After speaking to Customer Services I was then told that log-in details for on-line accounts and app-accessed accounts are different. I now appear to have 2 accounts that I cannot access. I have now removed the App from my phone. Read more Read less

Had a brilliant experience with Anita and the other lady I spoke with on the phone - thank you both so much! You made my remortgage a lot less stressful than I thought it was going to be! All my questions asked and future help offered for when we look to take our money from our equity. The only feedback I would give is that I tried to call multiple times across a few days and was unable to get through. I left a voicemail in the end and requested a callback which I was advised would be within 48 hours. I received the call back the next day but missed due to work commitments and there was no VM left and no second attempt at a call back. This resulted in me calling again to confirm it was MBS who had called me and requesting another call back and then also emailing Anita, who I had previously had a meeting with for some borrowing advice. A bit of a frustrating process but I understand you are very busy and I’m grateful for Anita and the other lady for contacting me and getting my remortgage sorted quickly! Read more Read less
