Review of the Hinckley & Rugby Building Society, Savings:

View on product page

Worth considering

The service in the branch was very good. I was on a strict time limit re the car park and the counter staff tried hard to accommodate that. Having said that the Hinckley and Rugby has limitations regarding its systems and procedures. For instance you can not open a savings product online. Also. it was a bit irritating that to open any new savings account you have to fill in a questionnaire comprising of several pages, even when I have been a customer for perhaps 30 years continuously, had an existing savings account and have held several over the years. The great majority of the information requested they would already have on their systems! Also, they are unable to update the old passbook with closing interest, give out the passbook for the new product, or make a payment to you in branch for the balance being withdrawn. These have to be posted out to you later. Reviewed on: 28th May 2025
