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

Brilliant service in WIN by Isabel

I booked an appointment to help open a higher savings account and upon arriving realised I had no cash on me and only a new card that wasn't activated yet. Thinking quickly and logically Isabel .T was able to transfer some of the money in my other savings account with Newbury to start my new account that day and saved me having to reschedule for another appointment! Quick and easy, whenever I go into the Winchester branch, they are always bright, cheerful and accommodating. When so many banks and building societies are trying to push everything to be done online, its nice to see that there are still some in the high streets that make and effort.

Excellent advice opening a new savings account

A face to face meeting to discuss options, easily booked and very helpful advice given under no pressure. Time to reflect and second face to face meeting to open the account. Highly reccommend Didcot branch staff to anyone. Reviewed on: 28th October 2022

Opening savings accounts

Samantha was in the office alone due to staff shortages, given this very difficult situation, she managed with a professional attitude and was very discreet when other customers entered. I would like to recommend a monetary bonus or pay rise for managing the role of 3 staff and executing it well. Reviewed on: 25th October 2022

Reply from Newbury Building Society Hello there - thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a review, it is much appreciated. We're delighted to hear your positive feedback about Samantha and we will be sure to share your comments with her and the branch manager. Response date: 26th October 2022

Very easy to navigate online

The website was very easy to navigate when opening a new account. It's also nice to know there is a human being on the end of a phone if required and not having to hold for an extremely long time as is the case for some larger providers. Reviewed on: 24th October 2022
