The benefit of being a member of the Vernon is that I can get to a branch easily and there is one of their branches open every. I can talk to the staff about my savings etc and they can give me an immediate answer. They do have online access I believe but I have found it better to talk to an actual person rather than sending an email and waiting for a reply ,which might then lead to another question. The staff are always ready to help and sort out any transactions needed on the day. I am also proud to be a member of Vernon as they care and support local charities and local commmunities. The savings rates are not always the highest but are still competitive. Reviewed on: 25th March 2024

Vernon Building Society

Opened an on-line account and it was very quick and simple. However Vernon do limit the range of their accounts that can be opened on-line by non-locals. Reviewed on: 25th March 2024

Real people with your best interests at heart.

5
The Vernon is a truly local building society with great staff. They still have a branch in Marple where you can speak face to face, a luxury rarely provided by banks these days! Reviewed on: 25th March 2024

Staff are always welcoming and often greet me by name.

Staff are always welcoming and often greet me by name. Very supportive after my husband died last year with advice and help in dealing with his affairs. Reviewed on: 25th March 2024

Jargon free, clear and open

5
I went in not knowing really what I wanted but was given time and space to have all the different savings options explained clearly to me. Delightfully jargon free and for once understood the various choices, pros and cons, that were available Reviewed on: 25th March 2024

Opening a savings account for my Grandson,...

5
I recently opened a savings account for my Grandson, which was quick and easy. The Vernon Building Society is one of the very few to allow a grand parent to do so, also they still provide a passbook so he can deposit cash at a branch old style. Reviewed on: 25th March 2024

lovely staff and great interest rates.
