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

Opening New Account

It was easy to open account what let it down was the verification code that was not received and I had to request another. The Society needs to find another method which is not reliant on the posts. Reviewed on: 13th January 2023

No reply to my email

I’m very annoyed that although you’ve done electronic ID verification on my account you have stated that ‘on this occasion you require sight of a bank statement’. Why was I not notified of this when I opened the account as I’m not happy sending you a bank statement where you can see my transactions. I have been personally regulated by the FCA since 1987 and I take your request as an insult. Furthermore, you have failed to reply to my secure email sent via my account. I will be moving my money away from you very soon and will be advising my clients not to invest with you. Reviewed on: 13th January 2023

Reply from Newbury Building Society Thank you for for your feedback - we are sorry to hear that you have not had a response, we would like to contact you about this as soon as possible, please can you email us at marketing @newbury.co.uk so that we can investigate what has happened?

New savings account-easy job

With interest rates low at the moment we were looking for an easy access account that paid higher than the banks. Also liked the idea that there are branches you can visit plus a long established society. Reviewed on: 13th January 2023

Great support from office staff

I opened my online account over the Christmas period which caused a few delays due to staff being on leave. But when I phoned the Newbury Office to progress matters I was very impressed by the extremely helpful and friendly staff who handled my queries Reviewed on: 13th January 2023

Plain and simple

I knew exactly what to expect from the product I chose as the TC document was well laid out. Registering for online access was also very easy to set up and I feel confident I am able to manage my account online securely. Reviewed on: 13th January 2023

Amazing and Friendly Service

The Service at Newbury Building society is exceptional all the staff are very friendly and helpful. The society offer lots of different products and the interest rates are also very good I currently have 3 savings accounts with the society and plan to open more in the future due to the ease and convince of having a local building society!
