Opening a joint savings account

The savings account was relatively easy to open, but despite both being existing customers, the process took a long time.

Kudos to the woman who had the sense to call me when others were sending e-mails that didn't actually answer the questions I was asking. A quick discussion, followed by a clear and sympathetic approach to fixing things was much appreciated. I'm just sorry I have forgotten her name - she did really well in taking the steam out of the situation.

Without your uncomplicated professional help we would not been able to build our house. Our final payment was delayed past the end by date by a third party which did not create a drama. I do not fully understand why on this type of loan/mortgage why there is a critical end date as you are getting interest payed and there is always the option of selling the property if there is a default in payments. ( Not a criticism, just a question )

Everything worked very well and was clear to understand. The only problem that arose was that my mortgage offer was lost in the post and never arrived . My solicitor helped me out by sending me a copy of her copy of my mortgage offer which I completed and used instead. I understand you sent the offer out to me second-class post but it still has not arrived. I would recommend actual offers are sent out first-class post which should arrive next day.

The staff at NBS are friendly and helpful and provide a peep into the 1980s with passbook printers and manual processes. We paid off our NBS mortgage with funds from our NBS savings account and the process was first agree a date I would come into the branch, they would then send me a letter with the final balance dated for that day which I would then bring into the branch with me. The teller then takes that NBS letter and my NBS passbook and writes out a cheque from my NBS savings account made payable to NBS. She then takes a photocopy of the letter and attaches it to the cheque and puts them in the internal post. A process that we wouldn't have given much thought to in 1981, but in 2021?. The overall business process completes satisfactorily and all the staff are helpful and friendly, but at the end of the day this entire process could be automated, and even conducted self-service.

Gladys in the Basingstoke branch

Gladys was fantastic and helped my family and I make decisions for my savings. She was very friendly and made sure I was aware and comfortable with everything that was happening.
