My account was a fixed bond and at the time I took it out interest rates were low and there was no option for monthly interest. On maturity again there was no monthly option so I closed the bond. Other societies offer monthly so I went with them. Reviewed on: 4th December 2023

I liked that could directly speak to real people and a problem (passbook and form lost in the post) was dealt with very rapidly and efficiently. They have an excellent range of savings products. Reviewed on: 4th December 2023

I like the fact that it is a mutual society. The service is customer oriented by efficient staff with clear information. Rewards for customer loyalty (i.e. bonds). Reviewed on: 1st December 2023

Keep website information better up-to-date (I checked opening times on website which were out of date and had to hang about for 30 minutes for the Building Society to open). Reviewed on: 1st December 2023
