Kent Reliance Building Society is a building society based in Kent, England. Incorporating the Chatham Reliance (established 1898), Dover District (established 1861), Herne Bay (established 1888) and Kent & Canterbury (established 1847). Kent Reliance has been the fastest growing building society in the UK since 2003.

It has assets of over £2.1 billion[1] and a network of 13 agencies and one branch throughout Kent.

The Society has recently embarked upon a massive branch reduction programme under the chief executive Mike Lazenby. This has seen the number of branches reduce from 14 to 1. Mr Lazenby describes branches as "a liability". [2]
