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

Transaction 24 Aug pm

It seemed to take a very long time for the cashier to put a cheque into my account. I was surprised to be asked a number of questions about the origin of the money e.g. whether it was 'savings', 'income not immediately required' etc. It was disappointing after the very efficient opening of my account in the same branch at 1000 hours on 21 August. No similar questions were asked then. Reviewed on: 25th August 2023

Reply from Newbury Building Society Thank you for taking time to provide feedback. We do have requirements that our colleagues are required to follow for deposits, there are different requirements with account opening, however we would be happy to advise on this if you would like us to contact you.
