Poor mobile application and service
Having read other reviews I can see this building society doesn’t score well. On a regular savings application my linked account was rejected prompting me to phone in. The agent didn’t know tge reason for the rejection. The app didn’t allow me to retry with another account, tge advice was to delete, reinstall and go through all the rigmarole again. Now I’ve put in a different linked account and am waiting for my application to be processed. Why. Is this not automated. Will it be worth the effort of setting up a regular saver account? Who can tell.

App don't work for app only accounts!
Offers app only accounts, and the app don't work!
5 months ago, I opened an app only savings account. Then I got a new phone. Tried to set up the app on the new phone, and it is impossible.
First I selected I have an account and am registered for the app. They send me a SMS with a code to continue the registration which the app accepted the code...only to immediately say the number is not recognised! What??? You just accepted the code!
OK I thought, I will register to use the app as a new user, entered all my details, only for it to say I am already registered!!! Basically I have no way of accessing my account now unless I run 2 phones which I do not want!!!

Think twice before you take out a mortgage with MBS
The Bank of England has reduced the base rate six times in the last eighteen months by a total of 1.5%. The Monmouthshire: three times by a paltry 0.5%. They will say they are not obliged to follow the BoE rate and have a responsibility to borrowers and savers... But with a 61% rise in profits this year, MBS's claim to be run for the benefit of their members sounds very, very hollow.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we understand that interest rates are a key concern for customers.
When reviewing our interest rates we consider market conditions, regulatory requirements, the need to maintain financial stability and long-term sustainability for all customers. We regularly review our rates to ensure they remain competitive and aligned with our values.
As a mutual organisation, we do not have shareholders to satisfy, which means our focus is on balancing fair returns for savers with affordable lending for borrowers.
Profit made helps to keep the Society secure, invest in our future and provide protection for our customers and the Society. We’re working hard to improve our systems which will enhance our customer experience and help us to become more efficient so that we can offer more competitive products across savings and mortgages in the future.
Excellent staff!
The staff in the Cardiff branch are super helpful and friendly. It’s a pleasure to visit!

The extra 1-2% they offer is not worth the hassle
Signed up for the regular saver account since they had slightly better rates than other banks. Now it is coming up to christmas and I need to access the money i saved but unfortunately, like many others, i am unable to access the app. Despite multiple uninstall/reinstall attempts. Called them up and apparently they have an internal issue which they are trying to resolve but they can't give a time frame on that and no guarantee that we will be able to access our accounts before Christmas. This is disgraceful. Avoid!

Earlier this week I got my Coventry BS account working through their phone app, so I thought I'd try the Monmouth app too.
12 Dec Installation doesn't even fully complete so it's not a problem with verification. Takes ages "Getting things ready" then after "Before using the app agree terms and..." & ticking agree boxes and Continue it just freezes.
13 Dec several remove, reinstall, reboot and restarts later, it finally installed and asked for my mobile number, sent passcode. Currently frozen at accepting that. Time to reboot and reinstall. Again.
Still 13 Dec. Reinstalled, rebooted, powered off and on, now freezing same as yesterday, doesn't get as far as asking for my mobile number.
So MonBS, maybe you need to find another app developer, get customer testing/validation before you offer the app again ?

I paid off my mortgage with Monmouthshire Building Society, but they still took another full payment afterwards. I could see it showing under my pending transactions and tried calling several times, you simply can’t get through on any of the numbers. When someone eventually called me back, they assured me the extra payment wouldn’t be taken. And guess what, it was.
Now I’m left chasing them again, and getting through is a nightmare. After years of being a customer, I expected much better communication and care, especially at such an important point like mortgage redemption. Really disappointing experience.

App is not fit for purpose
App is not fit for purpose.
Opened a regular savings account due to the decent percentage, however I’m thinking of closing this to go with another bank because of how glitchy and awful the app is to use. I’m still yet to see my deposit in my account which has been 2 days since I sent this over. The app constantly crashes, it’s something out of the Stone Age. Really awful. Wish I hadnt bothered.

Opened a regular saver account and easy access account on the app. Eventually managed but not without a lot of hassle. The app is the worst I have come across and is not fit for purpose. It should be discontinued immediately until it can be replaced with something better (it can't be worse!!!).
Tried to register for online banking. Entered everything asked for correctly. Then I got a tick - good I though, all sorted. But no because under the tick was 'Registration Failed'.
This Building Society is archaic, very poorly run and managed with IT from the dark ages. Why not look at apps that work and use them. Why not have an IT system that is at least newer than 50 years old. And sort out your systems and procedures so they are not so archaic. I can give you a list of Building Societies to look at as excellent examples

Appalling customer service
Had conversation with a staff member after problems opening a savings account.
They asked for proof of address to be sent, did not explain why except to say there was a problem with non delivery of a letter.
Did not understand but complied anyway as they had a good deal.
Nothing happens.
Sent a request for contact via their online form but again no reply.
Looks like I dodged a bullet!

APP Application ONLY
My wife and i have been using the regular saving accounts with the Monmouthshire Building Society for an number of year paying in the maximum each month
Yesterday we received notice that one of our Regular Saving Accounts is maturing shortly so we tried to open a new Regular Savings Account only to find that now this can only be achieve by a APP. On contacting Monmouthshire Building Society i was told the only way to now save with them is through the APP or Branch. As we are miles away from any Branch that is not possible.
Thankfully i decided to look at the reviews on Trustpilot and i am pleased i did as the reviews are TERRIBLE.
So now we off to one of Monmouthshire Building Society's Competitors to save.
