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.
