Emma…the saint

What pleasure it was speaking to Emma today, she must have the patience of a saint, my problem being I couldn't access my account which was no surprise as I was using details from a different bank, but Emma sorted it all out in a lovely friendly professional manner ,she is a credit to the building society, and I promise I now have all my details squared away correctly.

Non existent MHBS customer opening fixed rate bond

i had been trying to open a 2 year fixed bond for weeks and so initially Rachel sent me the form by post helpfully as online was not accepting my request. I still could not transfer the money via my bank as I did not have an account number. I rang and spoke to Alicia, who was extremely helpful and I was able to transfer the money. I spoke to Alicia today and she confirmed that the money has been received and has been extremely patient and helpful. Customer service indeed!

Visit to Kettering Branch on 8th May 2026 and telephone conversation with Customer Support Team.

I visited Kettering Branch on 8th May 2026 for advice in respect of my account. The lady who dealt with me was polite, courteous and extremely helpful, providing me with excellent advice. Later the same day I had some difficulty in registering for online service. I telephoned the Customer Support Team and spoke to Emma who was again polite, courteous and extremely helpful. Emma spent time taking me through the procedure which ended with a positive result. I was very impressed by the way I was dealt with by both of these members of staff. I felt that both of them went the extra mile in providing me with excellent customer service.
