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

Excellent and efficient service

Keryn at the Wokingham branch gave excellent and very efficient service. She was friendly, clearly knowledgeable and went above and beyond what I was in there for. She independently followed up on a query as she felt an answer she had been given by head office was not entirely clear so sought more information. She then called me after I had left the branch to pass further information on. Reviewed on: 14th April 2023

Poor communication

The following extract from an email sent to me sums up my experience with NBS, "I will be conducting a thorough investigation into your concerns. Once I have completed this, I will write to you again. I expect to be able to resolve it within two weeks but if this is not possible I will write to you with an update at that time". I received it on 14th of March and have had ZERO contact since. then. Reviewed on: 14th April 2023

Is communication a problem?

I went to the Thatcham branch last Monday week., 11 days ago, to open two accounts It has taken 7 working days (Easter intervened) for this to actually happen, and for the last 2 or 3 days they have been trying to call me, but I have not been home early enough to return their call. I tried today and got through to another branch because Thatcham's switchboard was busy. Eventually, today, they sent a voicemail to say that the accounts were now open.. Why all this time?...and if that was the message, could they not have voice-mailed me before? Nevertheless, I like to use local businesses where possible and I am happy to invest locally too.
