So far so good in terms of being a new still learning to get along with them type client at this stage. Prior to signing up with them I was ignored while contacting them via their direct e-mail per their own website. I got back onto them still without response and no acknowledgement - never. I hoped for better service once signed up which is the case via secure messaging. However, there was nothing secure nor overly private to stop them communicating over general queries I say again, after all it shows in big writing offering support via e-mail. One response was kind of robotic and failed to have read my short message properly. Can't yet comment on ongoing capability for providing hard or efficient copies for tax or that end of it etc. time will tell. However, I did research and based on reputation I went with them so far okay.

Emma treated me as a friend

Emma treated me as a friend and was very helpful. She picked up my call quickly and provided the information I needed in a professional way. I felt assured that she was an expert in her job.

The service I received was professional and friendly

The service I received was professional, friendly, and extremely helpful from start to finish. Everything was explained clearly, and I felt listened to and supported throughout the process.

The staff member I spoke with was patient, knowledgeable, and made everything simple and stress-free. It is refreshing to receive such genuine and caring customer service.

Excellent Customer Experience

Went into the Market Harborough branch to open a 160 day Notice Account on behalf of my elderly father, using POA. Claire could not have been more helpful during what is quite a complex process. She set me at ease, made sure I was comfortable and completed everything in a timely and professional manner. Whilst waiting I was able to hear Jen in the background greeting customers with warmth and care … you can tell these ladies know their customers and give the kind of service and experience we know we can expect from MHBS. Thank you Ladies, you are a credit to the company and I look forward to dealing with you in the future.

Amazing service

Amazing, I rang up quite stressed that I couldn’t find the customer number. And the lady on the phone was very very helpful. Stayed on the phone whilst my password was reset, and was in my account in less than 5 minutes

When they send an email saying "we would like feed back on your transaction " dated two days ago, when the transaction was 4 weeks ago, causes panic. When you send emails put the date the transaction happed on the communication.
