Login and withdrawal help

I spoke with a helpful and patient lady called Emma. Talked me through my login in issues and withdrawal process. She was professional, well mannered and knowledgeable...a great combo!

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…

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!

Great personal service

How refreshing to get through to an actual human being! Rachael guided me through operations to adjust my savings account so easily, professionally and most of all friendly.
I'd give 6 stars if I could. I will be recommending friends to bank here.
One very happy customer😊

Alicia

Alicia, was very helpful today. She was very patient and clear with her instructions. I would definitely recommend Market Harborough Building Society instead of the big banks for excellent customer service.

Jennifer was extremely helpful to myself and my husband in opening an ISA. We both enjoy our experiences at MHBS. It is much nicer to interact with a real 'person' who can assist and answer any questions which arise
