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

Notification of Death of Joint Acct Holder

I went to the Andover branch to notify them of the death of my father, The lady I spoke to was very kind and dealt with me in a very empathic way. She quickly dealt with everything, explaining everything she was doing. She asked if I would like to open another acct which paid a better interest rate which would then be paid into the original acct . I agreed to this an she transferred an amount to the new acct. She kept my old book and only 2 days later I received it back in the post along with the new pass book. She was very pleasant, efficient and professional from start to finish. Her customer care was exemplary from start to finish and she is a credit to your building society. Reviewed on: 28th July 2023

Winchester Branch visit

I visited the Winchester Branch to draw some cash . Subhashini Venkatesan was excellent, professional, friendly , very helpful. She advised me on the latest interest rates and switching my original accounts to a higher interest paying accounts. In addition opening a new account. Subhashini Venkatesan did all the necessary applications/ forms there and then , very efficiently. I've visited the Winchester Branch on several occasions and each visit has been a real pleasure. The staff are friendly, helpful, efficient. I have already recommended members of my family to open accounts, some have opened accounts at different branches and have all been very pleased with the services provided.

Very Helpful...

I visited my local Newbury Building Society earlier this week in order to open a new savings account as an existing member. I was welcomed by Justine Ransom, Branch Manager, at my 10.30am appointment. Justine carefully and concisely outlined and explained the variation of options of accounts best suited to me in my present situation, and patiently listened and responded to any questions and queries I needed to ask. I left feeling I had received very good service as a customer and that there remains a variety of ways in which I can contact the building society in future if necessary. I will state that I am impressed by the Society and the way in which I, as a customer, have been treated when I come into the offices. The Newbury is possibly the last Mutual and I hope it remains this way because the customer really does matter. Reviewed on: 27th July 2023
