Opening new savings account

5
After using the online chat function to ask questions about the best process to open an account (recieving relatively quick and useful responses) I met with Nicole to discuss my savings options. She was helpful and efficient (and friendly) and gave excellent follow up to confirm the approval of the new account. I have long been a member of Newbury and I appreciate their commitment to community and fund their staff always helpful. The rates are competitive. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

I had an exceptional experience with Sarah Thompson...

I had an exceptional experience with Sarah Thompson at the Winchester branch. Sarah was friendly and professional, and provided detailed information about the Savings account and other products. We also had a great chat about Australia and Winchester. Sarah's colleague was also friendly and approachable and they both made me feel very comfortable and happy to be there for my scheduled appointment. Reviewed on: 12th March 2024
