Review of the Newbury Building Society, Savings:

Really friendly, helpful staff and also easy to add funds by internet as well.

5
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

Ace service by friendly, effective staff

Impressed by the staff tactfully pointing out alternative savings options since we opened current accounts and responding immediately to decision to open new account. Plus by the immediate understanding that we understood various financial terms. They responded to the customer they had there! Reviewed on: 9th December 2022

Visited local branch to transfer from existing accounts to newly opened ones

I visited the Abingdon branch to get help with transferring amounts from my existing savings accounts to two new accounts set up online. The staff were really helpful and explained the best way to get the most out of two of the accounts, and the reason one of the new accounts required a further action before transfers could take place.
