Great for Mortgages

Staff are always really helpful on the phone. Our mortgage deal has been well organised and we have always had support when needed.

In the dark ages

In the dark ages, once they have your money very, very difficult to retrieve it. Helpline staff do not have the knowledge to deal with the simplest of enquiries. My advice avoid the heart ache & frustration go with a 21st century bank/building society. They do not call back as promised which again slows things to a snails pace, is this policy? When they eventually do respond, their advice "go into a branch", my branch is not open every day, again delay......... Stay clear of the Cumberland.

Very limited services

I'd been a customer for years, having had to open a bank account with them due to getting a mortgage with them. Cumberland are well behind the times in terms of banking technology. Everything is slow and awkward. I tried to do a bank switch away from them but they made it so difficult that I ended up losing the bank switch promotion offer from the new bank. Beware if trying to pay money from a Cumberland account to a stocks and shares isa, my transfer was refused as they use a proxy Barclays account not in the account holders name, so the S&S people won't accept transfers. I also received a letter telling me they don't accept payments from overseas. Rubbish all round really.

The level of incompetence is disturbing…

The level of incompetence is disturbing and can result in your money going missing. Having been with the Cumberland Building Society for over two years, I never expected to experience what happened recently when I made three payments of several thousand pounds, each to a well-known financial organisation. My first payment was £2000 on April 13th. I then made a second payment on 17th April of £2000, and both never turned up. The reason why is that Cumberland Building Society uses Barclays Bank as an intermediary on behalf of its customers. The organisation you're attempting to pay doesn't 'see' the money coming out of the Cumberland Building Society account you have registered with them. If you're fortunate, they will return the money as unallocated funds to the custodian bank used by the Cumberland. Fortunately for me, this happened with my first payment of £2000 made on 13th April, and it prompted me to make a further payment to the same organisation on 30th April—something I bitterly regret. My payment of £2000 made on 17th April, however, has not been returned, and the tracer requested for it took several weeks before I received it. The organisation I made this payment to is looking into what's happened. Now, this next bit is a real eye-opener for anyone concerned about customer service. The organisation I paid £1500 to on 30th April was once again unable to allocate it to my account because it didn't appear to come from one of the bank accounts I had registered with them. They duly returned it to the Cumberland Building Society on 11th May. About a week later, a telephone conversation with the Cumberland revealed that they'd received unallocated funds of £1500, but were not willing to credit my account with them. I've been told this is because on the same day, they also received other lots of unallocated payments, each of £1500, and therefore can't identify that I am the beneficiary without further proof. Going back to organisation I'd attempted to pay, I was unable to get any further proof other than a reference number that happens to be the Cumberland Building Society's pooled Barclay's Bank account number. Unfortunately for me, they are not accepting this as proof. Let's get one thing clear: I've done nothing wrong at all. Cumberland Building Society has lost my money, and although £1500 is nothing to a building society, they haven't got the decency to make reparation. I'll be put to the further inconvenience of having to contact the FCA and the Financial Ombudsman. In summary, Cumberland Building Society are unreliable and not customer-focused over rectifying mistakes when your money goes missing from your account due to their shortcomings not yours.

Fallen Behind

Fallen behind technologically with apps and online banking. Their customer service, which was a selling point a few years ago, is now generic and poor. Historically, their business team accepted our business account transfer, opened the account, then decided it hadn't passed their criteria (after we had started using it). An appalling time for our business and our stress levels, luckily a real bank assisted us and the business has gone from strength to strength since then. I was the last of my family to switch away, I finally moved this week. There are much better options around than the Cumberland.
