Reviews for Vernon Building Society have trended positively over the past 90 days

Vernon Building Society is loved for its friendly, helpful staff and the personal touch you just don’t get with big banks. People really appreciate having local branches where they can pop in and get clear advice face to face. The savings products are seen as competitive and reliable, with good interest rates for local savers. On the downside, the online banking experience can be frustrating, with some struggling to access accounts or find it complicated to set up savings online. Branch opening hours, especially limited days, and a few comfort issues like low chairs and privacy concerns also come up.

Positive themes

  • Vernon Building Society’s staff are friendly, helpful and make you feel truly welcome.
  • The savings products at Vernon Building Society offer good rates and are easy to manage.
  • Having local Vernon Building Society branches makes banking personal and convenient.

Negative themes

  • The online banking system at Vernon Building Society can be tricky and frustrating to use.
  • Limited branch opening hours at Vernon Building Society can be inconvenient for some.
  • Some branches have uncomfortable seating and lack privacy which could be improved.

    Very happy with Vernon so far

I have only had one direct experience of Vernon Building Society as my mortgage broker has handled all the communication with them up til completion which has only recently occured. I needed to check their criteria for allowing a solicitor to act for them and ourselves in our remortgage before appointing my solicitor and so contacted them. The person I spoke to was extremely helpful and I also understand from my solicitors that Vernon were helpful in finalising the offer within a tight deadline. So far, so good, I am pleased to say. I would give a higher rating had I had more direct contact with them, so would be happy to submit a further review after a year or so Read more Read less
