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

The refurbishment of Newbury looks very nice, but I felt when I visited today the cash desk seemed to be open and not secure enough for staff and customers. Reviewed on: 31st December 2022

The revamp is horrendous, not very secure for customers (vagrents often sit on the bridge opposite) now they can see all transactions, nowhere for customers to sit. Reviewed on: 31st December 2022
Reply from Newbury Building Society Thank you for taking time to provide your feedback. Our security is considered in the branch. If you would prefer a private room for your transaction or a till point further in the branch, please do let our team know and they will assist. Seating is in a booth and chairs by the window which are the same in number as our previous configuration, but we always can offer more if they are all in use. Response date: 16th February 2023

The queue arrangement could do with a bit of a rethink, door remained open when anyone is close. Reviewed on: 31st December 2022
Reply from Newbury Building Society Thank you for taking time to provide feedback, we appreciate it. We have provided markers for queuing as a result of feedback and the door sensors are being amended. We hope this will improve this. Response date: 16th February 2023
