The branch at Kibworth

Visit to the branch in Kibworth to get interest figures, efficiently dealt with and Jay upgraded one of the accounts to get a higher rate of interest which she told me about. All the staff there are always friendly a d helpful.

Real person interaction, traditional good customer service.

Called MHBS with regards to the business account query and spoke with Emma.
Emma was very helpful in in dealing with my enquiry. It only took a few minutes on the phone to get everything sorted. This would have taken a lot more time going through the AI chat bot.
Thank you Emma and MHBS

I wished to switch savings accounts with MHBS but didn't know where to start so wrote an email to customer services.
The next morning Emma from the Customer Support Team phoned and spent half an hour talking me through the website documentation - and fixed it so that the notice period on my first account was waved!
First class service!!

As a somewhat confused new customer (having forgotten my password AND memorable information--so much for being remembered when attempting to reset my password!!) I rang up and was answered almost immediately by an incredibly helpful EMMA who sorted my problem quickly, cheerfully and provided the assistance I needed. A real pleasure and a credit to MHBS. A***** as customer service goes. Thank you!
