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.

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
