Reply from Harpenden Building Society Hi Pauline, Thank you for your feedback and I'm sorry to understand that you are not happy with the service you received. We temporarily closed our Leighton Buzzard branch in February so that we can complete some essential maintenance. We sent a letter to Leighton Buzzard customers about the closure in February, so if you were missed from this communication please let me know and I will investigate further (you can email me at [email protected]). The team are looking forward to welcoming back our members next week when the branch re-opens on 7th May, however you can also register to manage your account online through our Harpenden Online facility. Please visit our website and follow the the link which gives instructions on how to register. In the meantime, if i can be of any further assistance to you in this matter then please do not hesitate to contact me. Kind regards, Jon Sweeting Commercial Manager Response date: 30th April 2025

Staff in branch are really helpful. Good to deal with humans, too many online only accounts. No choice and I am sick of good building societies neglecting their loyal customers. Reviewed on: 27th June 2025
