A New High Interest Bond Account

I've had an existing members account for many years, and recently received an email telling me there was a new bond available for existing members only. The interest rate is exceptionally good. Opening the account was extremely straighforward, except I was slightly confused by the request for bank details even though I could only use money from the existing account and it seemed that the money would come from the bank account I'd just given. I had to go back the following day to work out how to transfer the money from my existing account. Apart from that easy stuff. Reviewed on: 19th May 2023

Reply from Newbury Building Society Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback - we appreicate it. We will take note on making the process more straight forward! Thanks again Response date: 19th May 2023

Reassigning existing accounts

Excellent quick and efficient service

Because I was not able to visit our local branch due to illness, my husband delivered my form for a new ISA. This was immediately dealt with and the very next day I received confirmation by post that the transaction had been done. Reviewed on: 14th May 2023

opening a new account online

I was surprised that as an existing customer I needed to provide a copy of my bank details for which you already had the details. As a consequence I had to make 2 trips to your Newbury branch when my first payment to that account was rejected and returned. Communication could have been better as to what documents were required.
