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

Opening a new savings account

Opening a savings account online was quite straightforward. It helped significantly that, as an existing member, Newbury held my details on their system. However, there is an option to use the telephone service which is operated by courteous, competent and helpful staff members Reviewed on: 19th July 2022
