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

Help with adding nominated account

I set up a sash ISA and Welcome to Newbury account on Monday 27th March in Wokingham branch. I received my passbooks next day and verification code a couple of days after that. Super quick service! I phoned the My Accounts team and spoke with Rob regarding adding my nominated account details. He couldn't have been more helpful. Reviewed on: 31st March 2023
