Small building society that has been going since 1953 (and only just discovered you!) and you issue passbooks and this is the main reason I have come to you as the big banks and building societies are going over to cards or online, so please keep the passbooks going. Reviewed on: 29th November 2023

Reply from Harpenden Building Society Thank you for your feedback. I certainly agree with you regarding our Branch staff. We are very aware of some of the more 'challenging' aspects of our online system and we are working hard to improve these. Once again, we appreciate your valuable feedback.

The fact they are open 5.5 days a week whereas banks are all shut is great. Friendly, helpful staff in person and on the phone. Also they are local, not a national society. Reviewed on: 29th November 2023
