We are working hard to maintain the best service we can for you. As you can imagine our telephone lines are exceptionally busy at the moment. So we are asking for your help too.
In the interests of the health of both our customers and our staff, please avoid visiting our branches unless necessary. Please telephone your local branch direct if you have any queries or to register to use our online services.
To reduce the risk to our branch staff and customers, branch opening hours have temporarily be reduced to 9am - 1pm Monday to Friday and 9am – 12pm Saturdays.
We have also temporarily reduced our telephone opening hours at Principal Office to 9am - 3.30pm Monday to Friday and 9am – 12pm Saturdays. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
We understand that some customers may be worried about the effect that contracting the Coronavirus (COVID-19) could have on their finances, for example due to a drop in income as a result of contracting the virus or because of the measures imposed to stop it spreading. If you have any concerns about how this could affect you and your mortgage, please click here to read the leaflet produced by the Building Societies Association and National Debtline or please get in touch on 01664 414141.

| What is the interest rate? |
Scroll for more >
Interest, payable at the end of each month, can be added to the account, transferred to your bank account or transferred to an existing Melton savings account. |
|
| Can the Melton Building Society change the interest rate? | The interest rate is variable, which means we reserve the right to change them to reflect market conditions, to comply with legal or regulatory guidelines and to protect the long-term future of the Society. We will give you thirty days’ notice before any change that would disadvantage you. For full details please read our Terms and Conditions. |
|
| What would the estimated balance be after 12 months based on a £1,000 deposit? | Based on the current rate of interest, if you deposited £1000 in this account, after 12 months you would have £1012.57. (This figure is only an estimate, based on there being no additional deposits, withdrawals or rate changes in that time with all interest being added to your account. This figure is for illustrative purposes only, and does not take into account your individual circumstances.) |
|
| How do I manage and open my account? | This account is only for UK resident individuals aged 16 and over living in Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire or Rutland or to customers who have been members with the Society for 5 years or more. Accounts can be opened with a minimum amount of £100 and the maximum that can be held in this account is £20,000. To open an account see How to Apply section below. Limited to 1 account per person. Manage your account by visiting a branch of the Society or by forwarding your written instructions to us. |
|
| Can I withdraw money? | 30 Days’ Notice – you will need to give 30 days’ notice of your intention to withdraw funds. This will be waived if the amount being withdrawn is to be used for all or part of a deposit to purchase a property with a Melton mortgage. You can make withdrawals from your account by visiting a branch of the Society or by forwarding your passbook with written instructions to us. You can also transfer funds from your account to a nominated bank/building society account. Withdrawals are subject to the limits explained in our savings terms and conditions. |

| Additional information | Savers who have met the account requirements will be eligible to apply for a Melton mortgage with NO application fee or completion fee.

You must be aged 18 or over to be eligible to apply for a mortgage. Applying for a mortgage is subject to full underwriting procedures. This is a summary of the key features of this account.
