Review of the Vernon Building Society, Savings:

In branch service review

No fuss and very helpful with all that was discussed. Reviewed on: 24th October 2024

Always find the Customer Service to be friendly and helpful. As loyal members perhaps we could be provided with some better value over time. Reviewed on: 27th January 2025

General feedback

Vernon offer a good range of products and their customer service is usually good, I had one negative experience in my most recent visit where i was basically told to go and sort the issue myself when they could have offered to help in my view, but on the whole they are usually friendly and helpful both over the phone/email and in person.

Savings and ISA’s

Wonderful customer service and support, excellent variety of different products, knowledgeable and personable staff, couldn’t recommend more highly. Reviewed on: 27th January 2025

A valuable resource for the local

What I like is the knowledge that the Vernon is not part of a large anonymous organisation, with customer service teams often outsourced abroad. When you call you know you are talking ton someone who knows the area where you live and when you visit in branch there will be in person advice and problem solving. The rates are not always the best but they are competitive . Their regular saver ISA has been an excellent produce. As a local building society, the Vernon support their local community with awards and grants, giving members the opportunity to decide where the donations should go. Reviewed on: 27th January 2025

Friendly local Building Society. ...

Friendly local Building Society known to the community for years not just in town but still has premises locally Reviewed on: 27th January 2025

Local no nonsense ,easy to understand safe savings

Local branch so easy to get to know the staff and call in for advice . We have saved there for years and like the Vernon for its low key image and lack of gimmicks . I like having an old fashioned savings book too ! Reviewed on: 27th January 2025

Good products, poor website

I decided to open a regular savings account with Vernon because of the combination of a good interest rate and good flexibility. The is opened and managed entirely online so I went onto the website to open the account. To cut a long story short, it took 4 attempts to open the account. The first 3 times I got to the final stage and ended up in a place where I couldn't click on anything to take me forward. Hitting the back button on the browser took me right back to the first page of the application and all the information I had previously entered was lost. On the 4th attempt I entered all the information correctly and the application was accepted. However, it was purely guesswork on my part that allowed me to complete the application, there was no indication as to what the problem was (I think it was to do with me entering some aspect of my bank account info wrongly). Day to day use of the website to administer the account is not much better - it looks very amateurish and could really do with a professional update. Reviewed on: 27th January 2025

I am a new customer and would have preferred to open my account in your branch instead of online. Staff helpful though and now my account is set up I’m happy. Thank you Reviewed on: 27th January 2025

Local, accessible and overall good value

Accessible as it's local, staff friendly and professional at all times. Decent rates of interest in keeping with larger societies. All in all, good value local Building Society which I'm pleased to have on our high street. Reviewed on: 27th January 2025
