Excellent customer service

I have been so impressed by the service I have received at the Didcot Branch since I joined a year ago. I wish I had joined long ago. Vasilka Miles particularly deserves credit --she has explained all options available to me thoroughly , leaving me confident in making the correct decision on both my savings accounts. .

Arranging appointment to open account was very straightforward. Staff very polite. Appointment started on time. Manager was very understanding and answered our questions without judgement (being old school there are certain modern aspects that we are not confident with - ie online banking). The process for opening the account was very easy. Happy we chose Newbury BS. Reviewed on: 9th July 2024
