Företagsinformation
Skrivet av företaget
The Melton is a modern, mutual building society that has been serving the people of Melton Mowbray and the surrounding area since 1875. Our success is built on being an independent, mutual society, that places customers (or members) at the heart of everything we do. Being a mutual means we don’t have to pay shareholders dividends. So we can share the results of our success with our members through higher interest rates for savers, lower rates for borrowers and providing better services.

All savings products withdrawn - really?
I'd had good service from the Melton in the past, as i've just got a nice windfall, i thought I'd try them again as an alternative to my usual building society. Not a success! Every time I've tried to find out what savings products they are offering, their website (headline "we offer a range of savings accounts to meet your needs") simply says that "all savings products have been temporarily withdrawn". I havent been checking, but I think its been a couple of weeks since I started looking for a home for my money. should I be worried about my current investments?

Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
We recently launched a new online portal, and to give our teams and customers time to adjust to the new system and way of working, we have temporarily withdrawn our products. We apologise for any inconvenience or worry this has caused you.
We would like to take this opportunity to reassure you that your investments are safe and secure. We expect to be able to reintroduce some products to our range in November.
Thanks

Unable to get my account closed despite email requests.
Every time my wife calls the main number, she is cut off before she can get through to an agent. So, she emailed the company and is yet to receive an email response. There have been attempts to call her back to be fair, so the email has obviously been received, but they are yet to connect. But still no email response. Frustrated with on line and phone access, my wife gave her instructions to close her account, due to poor customer service, by email 6 days ago and she is yet to receive a response.

If you could email us at marketing@mmbs.co.uk with the best contact telephone number, let us know if there is a window of time in which you are available to take the call. I will then pass this information on to the team trying to reach you.
Thank you,

Difficulty contacting Building Society
I have invested with this Building Society for over 6 years and until recently have always had fantastic service. Since they have 'improved' their online experience I am unable to access my account online.
Every time I have telephoned to speak to a person 'they are always busy helping other customers', even immediately phones lines are available. Have not managed to speak to a person to discuss my issues.
I can only comment on my personal experience but it has not been good for me since they have transformed their systems.

Hi Geoff,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
We’re really sorry to hear of the difficulty you have had reaching us, and the concern this has caused you.
We are experiencing a high number of calls due to a recent system upgrade and the recent fixed rate maturity.
If you have provided us with your instructions, we are working through these and as outlined in your maturity pack you should receive payment to your nominated account within 2 working days from the day after the fixed end date.
Once again we apologise for any worry being unable to reach us during this period, however we can assure your money remains safe and secure. If you still have concerns please feel free to drop us an email to marketing@mmbs.co.uk with your details and we can arrange for someone to get in touch.
Thanks,

My Mum had given closure notice on her 100 day access account in July! She has tried constantly over the past two weeks to call to check that the funds will be transferred to her current account. No one ever answers. She has emailed, requested call backs and sent enquiries on the website... Still nothing. The 100 days is up today and she has no idea where her money is! Despicable service!

A Frustrating Experience …
I’ve been an investor with the Melton Building Society for several years and recently opened an on-line account. They were happy to take a cheque, cash it and then afterwards wrote to me asking me for proof of who I was … this could be done by taking a current Bank Statement, or similar document into a local Branch. They already had my cheque, with name, account number and branch details and common sense says this is better than a Bank Statement. And over the year’s they had mailed statements etc to me! This wastes customer’s time and is so frustrating … I wouldn’t invest again with them !!

Not impressed !!!
Not impressed - couldn't re-register my account - simply came up with an error message giving no details of what was wrong, tried to call by telephone - couldn't get through, told to try later, requested a call back on line - the site couldn't forward the request - sent my maturity instructions by post - wonder if there's anyone at the other end to action my request? I think I'll avoid this B/S in future - not too communicative.
Hello Kayleigh - well, I've provided my contact details - still waiting. Tell you what, don't bother calling me just confirm via Trustpilot that you've sent my matured funds to my nominated account - won't be depositing any monies with Melton again - p.s. your useless message request site still doesn't work - suggest you get someone qualified to GCSE level to write your websites

Trying to set up my new on line banking…
Trying to set up my new on line banking because they have changed their system is impossible.
When you call them they put you in a queuing system that if they don't answer in about 2 minutes they just say call back, tried about 6 times you get the same message.
When I eventually got through the advice didn't work so now I've can't gain access on line.
Why did they change their system which worked perfectly before.
I wouldn't recommend using them and once my bond matures I'll not be a customer in future.

Oh dear oh dear.
Oh dear oh dear.
The launch of their new digital platform has been pretty poor in my opinion. Having advised us by email of the forthcoming upgrade to their online portal, which granted was well overdue, there has been no update or correspondence since.
Went to the new log in page and fumbled about trying to use my regular account numbers etc to no success. Eventually tried the 'activate now' button and again tried to use existing account codes only to be told 'invalid data'
Eventually somehow located the 'step by step' guide (why they could not have emailed this to their customers is beyond me) and have now created my account.
I had a regular payment from my saving account to my nominated bank account which should have been paid on the 7th. It wasn't.
Decided to do a 'faster payment' (normally processed within 2 hours) on Friday. Eventually showed up as processed on the Melton site on Saturday. Sunday morning and still not in my nominated account.
Unbelievably as other commentators have said the Melton is still technically 'answering phones from just 9am to 4pm Monday to Friday although you cant get through.
Email from Thursday night remains unanswered.
No extra staff? No apology? No email? No extending switchboard times?
Quite shockingly executed upgrade to be honest. Customer or communications director should be considering their position as this has not gone well and tarnished their image quite badly

The systems upgrade and ongoing lack of support
The systems upgrade and lack of access to the portal more than 10 days later means I cannot manage my account in the timeframe required for a matured account and I risk loosing out on a re-investment opportunity that I have signed up for. The lack of any phone support which just hangs up after 2 minutes is appalling. Apart from the implementation, someone has made a big mistake in risk assessing this upgrade.

Hi Izaq,
We are sorry to hear of your disappointment and the difficulty you’ve experienced reaching us.
Our new portal has been up and running for a few days, so once you've activated a new profile, if your account is a non-ISA account maturing in October you can input maturity instructions online. Additionally, postal maturity packs were also sent at the start of this week to all maturing customers.
If you haven't already accessed it, we do have a step by step guide on our webpage, which you may find useful. You can find that here: https://www.themelton.co.uk/how-to-register/.
We have been experiencing higher volumes of calls than normal due to the launch of our new system, and our teams are still adjusting to the new way of working, so we aren't getting to calls as quickly as we would like.

Unfortunate system upgrade
AS others are saying I cannot get onto the new system. I have tried contacting by phone and by email but have no replies. I don't need to get at the money but would like to check the balances have transfered correctly for myself. Late on allowing access to system and then it says that information is incorrect when try to register. Very poor image.
