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

Brilliant Customer Serice

We have an inheritance and visited a number of banks and building societies, some were good, some ok, and some were either ignorant or unhelpful. Newbury Building Society was very welcoming, had an account we wanted and their customer service was exceptional. I would definitely recommend them to savers. Reviewed on: 8th February 2023
