Excellent communications when dealing with agents. Able to answer questions or will find out. Shame about poor saving interest rates. If better as they previously were, would encourage more business Reviewed on: 20th September 2024

Junior ISA opening

5
We went into branch to open a junior ISA for our baby. Everyone was helpful and friendly and it took about 15 minutes. This product is not available to open online so we had to go to branch and the experience was very good with the account being opened with a cash deposit. We didn't have to wait and we received confirmation and details via email the next day. Recommended with high rate of interest vs the alternatives. Reviewed on: 20th September 2024

It took longer than I expected.

It took longer than I expected to open up a 1 year bond with yourselves - in marked contrast to one I happened to open this morning with National Savings - given that I am an existing customer / known quantity to both organisations Reviewed on: 6th September 2024
Reply from Newbury Building Society Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback AJ, we do appreciate it. We appreciate the process can seem extended to existing customers and we are currently working to improve this while retaining the checks we need to undertake. Response date: 9th September 2024
