Our Expert Opinion on Vernon Building Society Easy Access

Jonny PeaseCo-Founder, DepositScout

Vernon Building Society's Easy Access account pays 1.90%, which is below the market average for easy access accounts and 3.10% behind the current market leader at 5.00%. It also sits 1.20% below CPI inflation of 3.1% (Aug 2026), meaning your money is losing real value in this account. The minimum is a modest £100 and access is instant, so the mechanics are fine, but I would seriously consider alternatives like Tandem Bank's Instant Access Saver at 3.40% before settling here.
