Newbury Building Society Branch Review

I used the Basingstoke branch of the Newbury on 14/08/23 having just had my car written off by the insurance company. I needed to transfer fundsquickly to fund a replacement. Richard was extremely efficient in helping me to do this. Well done Richard and thank you so much. Reviewed on: 14th August 2023
