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

Friendly and efficient service

Opened two children’s ISAs in the Winchester branch. Very friendly and professional personal service. Much easier than dealing with the bigger high street banks. Reviewed on: 26th January 2023

Very straightforward to open an account on-line

I wanted to open a joint savings account on-line which I managed without any difficulty. Reviewed on: 24th January 2023

Takes 2 weeks to open an account

Tried to open an account online. Seemed to go all right but after a few days I needed to provide extra ID. After this I had to wait over a week to get a verification code. Although I wanted to be able to manage the account on-line I now find if I want to use the local branch I need to ask for a passbook - more delays. I do wonder if it was worth it.

Reply from Newbury Building Society Thank you for taking time to leave feedback - we are sorry that your opening account was longer - we will look into what happened as this is normally a much quicker process. Thank you for flagging this with us and we will be sure to review this. Response date: 25th January 2023

New Savings Account assessment

Although we have 2 existing savings accounts with the Branch we were told we had to have an appointment to open a 3rd. The financial advisor (Laura) went through all our basic information even though you already had it obviously. We proceeded to open the new account with a cheque for £8000. The process seemed laborious for just opening a new account. There is no criticism of Laura who acted professionally at all times. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2023

Reply from Newbury Building Society Thank you for taking time to leave feedback - which we take seriously, there are regulatory requirements from time to time that can seem repetitive - we will review this to see if there is something we can improve upon. Thank you Response date: 24th January 2023
