Written by the company

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.

An excellent service from Melton Mowbray Building Society

It's so great to have Melton Building Society and their wonderful staff.
I would particularly like to recommend Jessica, for providing such a caring, personal and thorough approach to my requests.
It is a calm environment there and I didn't feel rushed. Jessica is very welcoming and extremely helpful.
She also recommended services I didn't realise the society provided.
I would also like to thank James for his kind support.
Well done.

Very helpful on the telephone. Set up a new ISA for me. No high pressure sales talk which you get from others.

Great customer service

We ALWAYS have a great customer experience at the Melton Building Society. We saw Jess today and she was so friendly, helpful, patient and professional in helping us decide what to do with our account. She spoke in detail about our options which we found very helpful, nothing was too much trouble. This is why we always keep returning to the Melton Building Society, their customer service is brilliant.

I visited the branch in Melton Mowbray after losing my husband. The staff were so helpful and courteous during the most difficult time of my life. I wish all the other companies I’ve had to deal with were just as good.

I've always been treated as a valued customer, nothing is too much trouble, and they take their time explaining everything to you and making sure all questions are answered.
Keep up the great work.

It’s great to go into the Melton and speak to advisors face to face in a private room. We have been investors for 60 years as well as having our mortgage with you. You have always been competitive on the high street. Always had great service in Grantham.

Really easy and friendly. Josh talked us through everything and helped us with the paperwork. We didn’t have an appointment but were given a private room to discuss things and got everything sorted in one go. Really great. Thank you.

Melton at Bourne

Saw Amanda. Very friendly, helpful and professional. Explained everything clearly to us. It’s such a pleasure to be able to actually go into an office and speak to someone rather than having to do it all on line.

Relaxed yet professional experience

I had arranged to attend Melton Building Society to open an account for and with my brother who is a child.
The process has been confusing for me and a sensitive one after our mum passed away.
Charlie made this process so much easier to understand and manage.
She gave us the options of accounts available to us and allowed us to weigh up which accounts would suit us. She gave valued knowledge which assisted us in our choosing.
She has such a kind friendly nature which made you feel very welcome and valued as a customer.
After this experience I feel assured that my brothers money is in the best possible place and know that should we have any questions or queries in the future Charlie will be able to help us with information and answers to our questions.

I have been with the Melton Building Society a number of years and always found the staff at the Grantham branch particularly helpful. However, on this occasion I felt Rosemary went over and above her duties in helping me and deserves a special mention.
