Tried to transfer our opening balance, of £500, but kept rejecting it even though it said money could be added - AFTER myself & partner transferred just £10 to see if it was working, which turned up more or less immediately, but the £500 still hadn't arrived although saying pending now.

Excellent customer service, as always.

Excellent customer service in a very well appointed environment. Sarah was very well organised and had all the details required ready for me to set up my ISA. Everyone in the Newbury Building Society is professional and pleasant - every time! Reviewed on: 28th June 2024

Pleasant, enjoyable, informative and cordial.

Pleasant, enjoyable, informative and cordial. It felt like I was dealing with a human as opposed to an automaton. Reviewed on: 28th June 2024

Good savings products available.

Good savings products available. Online banking portal seems a bit cluttered in places and there are some bugs in displaying documents such as the FSC guarantee notice when using MS Edge. Logging on feels secure with the one time code system. Reviewed on: 28th June 2024

New Bond

I opened a new 'bond' account on-line but wasn't sure that it was the right one. I went into the Abingdon branch where I was treated courteously and efficiently. Reviewed on: 21st June 2024
