Informacje dotyczące firmy
Napisane przez firmę
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.

Dreadful account opening experience
I have numerous financial accounts. Melton's account opening procedure is the most cumbersome and the software programming the WORST I have ever encountered with any financial institution. It took ages and constant re-input of data to finally get the account opened. It was only because of the attractive interest rate that I persevered to open the account. A dreadful experience and waste of my time.

After a failed attempt to open a 4.8% fixed bond on line,I visited the nearest branch armed with a latest statement from a 30 year old nominated account,driving licence,passport and Bus pass.
This morning,I received a call from the head office requesting 3 months back statements and me sensing their reluctance to open an oversubscribed offer I decided not to proceed.
Not sure if this was a marketing exercise to test their worth or something else.On line application are cumbersome and difficult to complete.
Should have trusted trustpilot from the start and not started the application.BS best for Pass book accounts and local residents,perhaps.

Hi Nilesh,
We're sorry to hear you decided not to proceed with opening an account.
We are aware that some customers have experienced difficulties when applying for accounts recently, these issues were caused by larger than normal application volumes, and some unexpected technical difficulties.
Thank you for considering Melton Building Society and sorry that you found the process cumbersome and difficult. We are using the feedback we have obtained during this period to make some changes to improve the process.
Many thanks

Failed to open account and no correspondence
Like many other, I tried to open an account. They took all details on their clunky website (including NI numbers) before saying at the end of the application process there was an error. Tried to telephone them three times, automated system cut me off. Have emailed complaints department asking for all my details to be deleted and confirmed it has been done, but no response to date. Would suggest using other savings accounts where you can actually speak to someone!

I've been trying to open a fixed rate issue 17 account for 2 days.Entered all my details in. Got to READ PRIVACY NOTICE. Ticked AGREE. Tapped on ACCEPTED. Then find out I can't proceed any further. Called customer services 4-5 times. Held on the phone for ages each time. Only to be told that they are busy, and to call back another time. Don't they want me to invest in their company?

Sort Code error
Just opened a fixed Rate Issue 17 account - naturally popular with interest at 4.8%.
They seem to be having communication problems for at least a year, and the 'systems upgrade' last autumn only seems to have made matters worse.
Can't get through this morning, so I think I'll ask my question here because it seems the best way to get a reply!
Confirmation of my new account came though with details to let me fund my account - including a 5 digit sort code.
5 digit sort codes do not exist - what should I use?
UPDATE
Many thanks for swift response and for solving the issue - can you try and be as swift in answering your phone? :-)

Hello,
Thank you for providing the above feedback. I'm sorry you have been struggling to reach us.
As you mentioned, the new product has proven to be popular and has caused a higher volume of calls, particularly because of the bank holiday.
That sort code appears to be an error. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.
The paying in details for your account will be detailed on your welcome letter or email. If you have not yet received this they are also detailed on our website: https://www.themelton.co.uk/savings_information/paying-in-to-your-account/

Update 27.05
Our teams are working hard to answer incoming calls and return messages left or sent to us via the various contact methods. Our contact centre team does not manage our Trustpilot account.
Cluncky experience on website - updated
Opening an account via the website was laborious to say the least, fustrating and painful in reality. Every step seemed to take an inordinate long time to register and progress, and responses expected are counter-intuitive. It would require a professional in the shoes of the customer to smooth out the process. To add to the pain, the server was grossly under-powered - just upgrade the hardware, it won't cost a lot!
Now I understand the issues with the website are teething problems due to a recent update. I send my best wishes to Melton for a 'speedy recovery' and every success with their hardware upgrade.

Hello,
We're sorry to hear you have found the online application process to be laborious and painful.
We upgraded to this platform alongside our new core operating system a few months ago. Despite our best preparations, the magnitude of the change has led to some unexpected issues.
We are gathering feedback all the time; however, we would welcome more if you would be happy to share more about your experience. You can email us using marketing@mmbs.co.uk. In the meantime, we would like to assure you that we are focused on continuing to work on resolving the technical issues we are aware of with our developers and improving customer experience.
Thank you,

We can assure you that Melton Building Society are not a scam; we are an FCA regulated mutual building society.
We recognise that some people have experienced some technical issues during the application process. These issues are being investigated, and fixes are being worked through.
We're sorry that on this occasion you have decided to invest your money elsewhere.

Gave up on application
Offered a good rate, but the application process is so painful in comparison to other banks. I've had the same address for 5 years, same current account for 30+ years, but the online application was unable to confirm my identity and they asked me to send ID documents by post (original passport, driving licence, no photocopies). No thanks, I'll just choose an easier online process.

We are not a bank, we are a small mutual building society and because of that, you may notice some differences in our processes. We do, however, recognise that people have been experiencing technical issues, and we are taking all the feedback provided to work with our developers to improve the application process.

Hello,
We're sorry you've had difficulty accessing the platform.
Other than scheduled maintenance, which is detailed on our website, the platform should have been available. We appreciate that not being able to access it would be frustrating, so we'd like to understand more about the difficulties you've had in order for us to investigate further.
Our teams are not available over the weekend, and we are closed on bank holidays, which might explain why you haven't heard from us yet, but we'd like to check that. If you could email your details to marketing@mmbs.co.uk, we can look into this for you and ask someone to reach out.
We are a small mutual building society, not a bank like Atom or Monzo, however despite our smaller teams, we are working hard to make improvements and provide a platform that is fit for purpose.
Thank you
