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

Excellent Customer Service

5
On first entering the Andover Branch we were greeted with a smile and a warm welcome. The comfy chairs by the counter were a nice addition. The process for opening a new account was quite straightforward and the Customer Service Manager talked us through the whole process. We feel it is so important to talk to a real person, face to face, as a way of building trust in the organisation. Overall, a very positive experience. Reviewed on: 1st November 2022
