Senior saving made easy

Saw the details for Newbury building society's senior savings scheme and felt this was just right for both my wife and I to consider opening. We found it easy to make an appointment and duly met with Ken in the Basingstoke branch. Ken was very helpful and explained how the scheme worked and its benefits together with running through the terms and conditions in an easy to follow way. Very impressed with visit and appreciate Newbury's style of business which still includes space for customers who prefer a personal approach and tend to avoid on-line ways of working. Needless to say we both now have savings accounts with Newbury and look forward to many years of association. Reviewed on: 27th May 2023

Opening a new EMA Bond account

Had not realised that needed to speak to one of the Society’s advisers before this transaction but an appointment was offered within the hour. Then was guided very well throughout the whole transaction and the new account successfully opened. Reviewed on: 26th May 2023

Excellent rate for Existing Members Bond

My wife and I have had existing members savings accounts for some time and recently the Newbury BS gave us the opportunity to access a higher fixed rate for 2 years. Although the application was not smooth, Gemma a customer service advisor helped us out and we got there! Reviewed on: 26th May 2023

Opening new savings account

Overall the experience was positive, as are all my dealings with Newbury BS. However, opening the account through the online service required me to provide information which was irrelevant for the type of account which I opened. Reviewed on: 26th May 2023
