Joining NBS with new dab a/c

3
Wasn’t as straight forward as I imagined due to tech facilities but customer service was really good. Initial joining process was outdated. Was expecting a text with verification code rather than letter within 5 days. Text reply would have verified account instantly and saved time. Website isn’t set out to be user friendly. As a new user, it took me a while to find the login icon. Would be better standing alone in top right rather than being in middle of a menu. Joking process could have been explained simpler and was left a tad confused by instructions. Managed to speak to customer services and had a nice customer experience. They were friendly and helpful and above all, patient. Reviewed on: 17th March 2023

Decent savings rate

4
A great introductory rate and good to see that Loyalty can be rewarded if an account is held open for a year with other Newbury savings accounts. So far so good, providing the rates keep increasing with any future BoE base rate rises. Reviewed on: 17th March 2023

Opening a Senior Saver account

5
I was welcomed by Cassie and my options were explained to me in plain, simple terms. I already have a joint SS account but wanted a personal one, so I was familiar with the terms and conditions. Cassie was professional, friendly and helpful. Reviewed on: 14th March 2023
