10 years plus of trustworthy banking with a face

For more than 10 years they have stood out in their services, value and the good people who work for them. An active presence on the high street and in the community, that make banking simple and effective. It is so nice to be able to speak to a knowledgeable people and not an AI bot.

Very good service quite fast and responsive during calls prior to my appointment. Opened quickly and efficiently and received books and paperwork within a few days, even at Christmas. Unfortunately lost a mark as the advisor did put their fingers in my mouth by accident as we both went to open the door. Reviewed on: 8th January 2024

Senior Saver Account

I was looking to move some of my savings away from my clearing bank where they were earning a poor rate of return. I realised from reading the Newbury website that I was eligible to open a Newbury Senior Saver Account at a much better rate Reviewed on: 8th January 2024

Poor Service on ISA transfers.

My wife requested a partial ISA transfer from you to Lloyds Bank in November, and a duplicate request was sent on 15/12/2023 but still nothing heard. Lloyds said that you are always very slow for ISA transfers. Why is this? We had rated NBS very highly for customer service but this is very poor. Reviewed on: 7th January 2024

Reply from Newbury Building Society Hi David, thank you for taking the time to leave feedback - we are sorry to hear that this transaction has been delayed - we will look into this and contact you to ensure we understand what happened. Response date: 8th January 2024
