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.

Appointment with Andy

I had an appointment with Andy. He was very helpful, professional and polite. He was knowledgeable and able to fully answer all my questions. The process of setting up the ISA was done efficiently. I was very happy with everything. I’d highly recommend the Market Harborough building society and its staff.

I am so glad I found MHBS

I am so glad I found the Market Harborough Building Society! They always answer the phone promptly with only a few options to choose from. They are very knowledgeable and friendly, and don't mind you taking your time with them and in my case asking some very obvious questions. My last communication was with Emma who was absolutely delightful and a credit to MHBS.

I don't usually submit feedback but feel compelled to do so in this instance. As a new customer I've been extremely impressed with the level of service provided by the customer service advisors. Very knowledgeable, friendly and efficient.

Changing mobile number

I needed to change my mobile number in order to get access. When I phoned Emma was everything I'd hoped for. She was friendly and took me through all the steps involved very patiently, so it all went very smoothly. I was most impressed.

Great experience

Went along to the Market Harborough building society to open a new account and was greeted by a warm friendly welcome from the staff. I was then directed to Jen who was able to assist me with all that was required to open the account ,no pressure and left feeling I’d made the right choice.

A/C CLOSURE PROCEDURE

Wanted to close my long dormant account. I didn't even remember that it was an on-line account. The operative, via phone, talked me thru the logging on procedure , including PW creation and successfully closed my account and auto transferred the account balance to my bank account within about three minutes over the phone. All this was accomplished with the minimum of fuss.
