Customer focused, flexible and caring

5
From the start, the process has been smooth and simple. When I enquired about a change to a product coming up to the end of its time, NBS couldn't have been more helpful and flexible considering my needs and circumstances. Justine from the Wokingham branch went above and beyond to support me and make sure I was on the best deal possible. I felt fully cared for throughout the process and was never left to feel like I was just another customer. It was a personal transaction throughout. I can't recommend NBS enough.

Amazing - from start to completion

5
From the initial consultation through to completion, the staff at the Newbury Building society have been simply amazing. All of my questions and queries were quickly answered in plain and simple English and when the completion date was missed due to issues outside of my control, the Newbury quickly acted to extend my offer, allowing me to keep my existing deal. I really can't recommend The Newbury Building Society enough. Reviewed on: 13th January 2023

Years of help

5
During 50 years we had mortgages, repaid mortgages, took out new mortgages to help our children buy their first houses and more recently interest only loan to help in difficult times. At all times the Newbury has been there, with a solution and a smile. Today was no different. I am now alone and again today I received exceptionally quick, kind reassurance from staff at the Alton Branch. Thank you Reviewed on: 11th January 2023
