All very efficient and easily dealt with.

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 was fantastic!

Eve was fantastic! I really appreciated how she listened to my request and offered me the best option for me. She was patient and friendly and really explained the technical terms to me. I normally dread these sorts of things but I came away feeling confident and with a smile on my face. Reviewed on: 19th 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.

I will share with Eve and her line managers - we also share internally and have feedback stars, so thank you, your kind words will be very much appreciated. Emma Response date: 16th May 2024
