Saving rewards

Local company

A good local savings company with strong ties to the local people Reviewed on: 10th March 2021

Always there with good advice

Cannot fault them. Trustworthy and reliable. Reviewed on: 10th March 2021

Supportive advisors

I am a first time buyer with a help to buy ISA at Vernon. I just want to thank them for honouring the 95% mortgage offer for first time buyers during the lockdown period. It filled me with so much reassurance that Vernon continued to support me to get on the ladder during really uncertain times. Vernon are a safe pair of hands! Reviewed on: 10th March 2021

Friendly and Helpful

Always friendly and helpful whenever we visit the Bramhall branch. Reviewed on: 10th March 2021

Very good

Revised opening times of the branches is not very clear Reviewed on: 7th March 2021

ISA

Recently opened an ISA account. The process, despite requiring manual paper forms, was easy enough and account opened next day. An obvious improvement would be to allow for online registration. I don't mind walking down the branch and handing in forms now, whilst stuck working from home locally. But if I was in the office and with little free time that would put me off opening an account. The staff I have spoken to have been friendly. But, I wasn't overly keen on the pay-in details being confirmed over the phone. These would be best confirmed in writing via email or post. Luckily the details match those seen on official company literature so no worry from me in sending payment. Rates offered on the ISA, along with the bonus if getting a mortgage with Vernon BS are very competitive. So, I would reccomend for that reason (if I knew anyone else who lived in the area!). Reviewed on: 3rd March 2021

Still got the personal touch

We have saved with the Vernon for decades, and as all the high street banks are disappearing, the Vernon still manages to retain a human face and a personal service in their local branches, while still providing internet access when this is more convenient. Reviewed on: 1st March 2021
