Opening an account online

It was a very simple process. Far preferable to going into a branch. Reviewed on: 21st July 2023

First class customer service, friendly, efficient and professional.

From walking in off the street to having my account transferred to 2 improved accounts of my choice, all completed within an hour - fantastic! The staff at the Newbury branch were very accommodating providing a friendly, efficient and professional customer focused service. Hazel Parker was outstanding, a credit to NBS!

Not the best for interest on savings but lovely people to deal with

The title above says it all! Been a customer for nearly 50 years now! The only reason we really cannot recommend you to family or friends is that you only serve the Reading/Wokingham area and everyone we know lives much further away. Reviewed on: 21st July 2023

Chloe and her colleagues were extremely helpful

I popped in to ask about changing my savings account to one with a better rate of interest without having an appointment. Although I had yo come back in 30 mins Chloe was able to sort out my new account in very little time and my trip to Abingdon was a success. She was very friendly and professional as were the rest of the team. Reviewed on: 21st July 2023
