All very efficient and easily dealt with. I had expected a better rate on the mortgage as I have been with you for many years and there is so little remaining to pay but that will just serve as an incentive to pay off the balance even faster. Reviewed on: 21st May 2024

Eve McDowell

I would like to call out Eve McDowell who provided me with what I can only describe as the best banking experience I have ever had. And I work in a bank so I know what it is like! She is polite, professional, responsive and courteous and should be recognised at the highest level of your institution. Because of Eve, the Newbury has me for life.
