I moved over 60,000 pounds from accounts that I had had for many years because your company (Newbury BS) were to slow in increasing their interest rate as compared to its rivals. I recently open a cash ISA and was told by your sale person that she opened a simular account but with the Halifax BS as they gave better rates. May I suggest you sort yourselves out Reviewed on: 3rd April 2024

Great Service by all the staff at the Didcot Branch, especially Cassie, Helen and Vasilka Vess who are extremely helpful and knowledgeable people. On this occasion, Vess was more than helpful in explaining the best account for me and transferring my funds from my previously existing Welcome to Newbury savings account to a new Existing Members savings account and how the new account works, very helpful, thank you all.
