Clear, well-communicated advice and service

Newbury provided clear, well-communicated advice and service (both online and in person) when we renewed our mortgage products. The new products were put in place easily and quickly. Reviewed on: 17th November 2023

Uncomfortable

3
I am redeeming my mortgage and rang NBS a few months back to find out the exact amount owed. I was told I would be contacted nearer the time, which was fine. To get a call out of the blue and asking really personal questions was very uncomfortable and slightly strange. My first reaction, and apologies to Neisha who was lovely and completely professional and friendly but the first question she asked was my date of birth and name when she had rung me? I understand data protection but that was before anything else. I nearly hung up thinking it was a scam, but then she asked where my funds were coming from. I'm n o money launderer but its none of your business! Frankly I could have said anything... Wouldn't it be better to email/write and schedule a call or zoon call especially from someone with a foreign accent. It's not fair on your staff as I must have been very offhand with her. I was thinking scam before anything else and wasn't thinking straight - apologies if I was rude to her. Reviewed on: 14th November 2023

Extremely helpful

5
I have a interest only mortgage for which the payments had more than doubled in a year. I had received several messages suggesting I contact the Building Society and eventually did. I was offered, in my opinion, a much better product. I did research and found this product was recommended by a leading comparison website. This has reduced my payments significantly - just wish I had contacted Newbury earlier. Everything was explained well. Reviewed on: 10th November 2023

We were helped by Helen King to set up various new accounts. Helen talked me through the many ISA and account options which made the decision of which to choose easier for me. She explained things simply and didn't mind going over things more than once. Excellent customer service. Reviewed on: 6th November 2023
