We value our local branch in Newcastle, and the staff.

We value our local branch in Newcastle, the staff are well informed and very helpful. Most of our savings are with HEBS, interest rates are not the best but the local branch and its staff make the difference to us. In an age when good quality service is hard to find it makes a refreshing change. Reviewed on: 20th January 2026

Hanley Economic Building Society is fantastic.

5
Hanley are very much on the ball and their customer service is fast to work on anything needed by a customer. It is lovely to speak to someone on the phone, who will personally look at something for you and help you get an answer from someone else. A small gripe that I have is that interest rates for some accounts are low and that there is maintenance every night on online banking, which means that deposits/withdrawals cannot be made at these times.
