I chose Harpenden Building Society because investment and withdrawal can be made by post and telephone. When telephoning the receptionists are most knowledgeable and eager to help.

    Very efficient in dealing with the recent notification of my late father's death. The information arrived promptly allowing me to start with the process of probate.

    The building society staff are friendly and helpful. But I prefer a bank.
