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

Great customer service

I've recently opened two savings accounts as a totally new customer and it was great to be able to speak to someone in person for advice and guidance. Other banks have directed me to "internet only" savings accounts. I like the personal touch. Reviewed on: 1st March 2023

Like talking to humans in an office and not working from home or hanging on for hours being told "your call is important to us" or a robot, open on Saturday mornings. Reviewed on: 28th February 2023
