Harpenden Building Society was launched in early March 1953 and named after Harpenden a residential town located in north Hertfordshire. A band of Harpenden locals formed the society with a view to aid people with the capability to borrow money in order to buy homes of their own. The first branch was set up in Radlett in 1981 and another in 1992 in the town of Leighton Buzzard. There are now six branches plus three agencies of the Harpenden Building Society.
