Confusing and awkward online service I expected a fairly low-tech experience, and I thought I would be comfortable with that. However, the reality of applying for a savings account online... Read more Reviewed on: 17th March 2026

Review of the Newbury Building Society, Savings:

Really friendly, helpful staff and also easy to add funds by internet as well.

I met staff of Newbury Building Society at Abingdon Air Show and liked the sound of the account which I subsequently opened in branch. The service I received in branch was very good and the whole process was very smooth. Since then I have used internet access which again is very user-friendly (I'm not computer-savvy, so need simple systems!). Reviewed on: 4th January 2018

A cash ISA that pays interest

Needed a instant cash ISA that was better than the poor offer from lloyds bank where I always banked. Reviewed on: 12th September 2023

Thank you

Firstly I didn’t expect to have a conversation about my savings on the day I went into the Newbury but was pleasantly surprised when I was offered an appointment. The advisor was very informative and covered everything I needed to know to make an informed decision about my savings. The advice was given in a clear concise manner. The advisor was great and an asset to the Building society it encouraged me to put my savings in your capable hands.Thank you Reviewed on: 9th September 2023

Good old fashioned service

I like non internet branch based financial services. Newbury building society felt more personable than Nationwide building society on initial enquiry. Was able to book a appointment for the time slot i needed . Quite a lot of form filling to do to join but done in 35 minutes. Passbook for 'welcome to Newbury building society' account arrived quickly. The passbook for the ISA transfer account will take longer. I have been advised, as my previous provider will drag their feet. Reviewed on: 8th September 2023

Efficient and easy

Easy to open senior account - although there was a delay due to my wife having to provide identity, but otherwise very good. Good comms. Getting online was easy and security was thorough but simple to achieve. Reviewed on: 8th September 2023

Easier than expected

It was straightforward to open new accounts having made an appointment to do so. However, the experience would have been vastly improved if the branch (Wokingham) had some form of air conditioning. On a hot afternoon it was stifling. Reviewed on: 8th September 2023
