In the process of setting up an ISA for the first time found every stage of the procedure found it to be very slick, easy to follow from step to step, and never had the slightest problem at any stage. I have no experience of other Building Society's systems, but as far I am concerned the Newbury Building Society's systems (at least for an 84 year old) are as good as it gets.

All of the staff are engaging and helpful. I have received a lot of really good information about the products on offer yet never felt pushed into making a decision or getting a product. Jessica helped us with phone calls and emails and the area manager made us coffee! Reviewed on: 12th December 2025
