Newbury Building Society Savings reviews (8792)

Excellent service. efficient and friendly staff; a joy to do business with.

The staff member went through the details of the new EMA Bond (31st July 2025), explained the impact of interest only being added at the account maturity date and made sure I was fully aware of the Ts & Cs. The branch staff in Winchester are always friendly, efficient and fully competent. I have no hesitation in recommending Newbury Building Society to friends and colleagues. Reviewed on: 9th June 2023
