Harpenden Building Society Branch Review

First class customer service! Unfailingly warm, welcoming, personal touch with help, advice and efficient service at all times. I have been with the Harpenden for many years and even though I am now living in Essex I have always kept my account at Radlett where the friendly customer service is impeccable, as recently demonstrated with my phone conversation with Christian and in-branch service from Catherine. Keep up your wonderful work, it's much valued and appreciated. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2023

Had an account with Harpenden Building Society from when I first moved there back in the 1990's. On moving away 15 years ago didn't know what to expect of the service level, but have been incredibly pleased. They remain attentive, efficient and fast! Thank you so much for many years of outstaning service. Reviewed on: 14th August 2023
