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

Setting up new on-line savings accounts

1 Interest rate is very good. 2 Maximum amount is VERY low. 3 Transfer times are slow. 4 This is advertised as being an on-line account but it isn't really. Snail mail is involved in setting it up. 5 I set up two accounts. One in my name and one in my wife's. I have a middle name but my wife doesn't. On her "Profile" page my wife's name is spelt correctly but on her "Summery" page your computer has inserted my middle initial into her name. I called you about it. It still hasn't been corrected yet. Reviewed on: 27th December 2022

NBS Existing Members account opened online

Was a bit confusing whether I was going to get a physical passbook or not also if I would be asked to go into branch with ID. When finished the application, the page told me to wait until I received a secure message saying the account was opened. However as soon as the application was submitted and I returned to the main account screen, the new account was there along with details about how to make deposits but I still waited for the secure message to appear.
