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.
