Lovely Staff, Very Helpful and Easy to Set Up

Recently opened new ISA for current tax year. Simple process and very helpful and communicative staff. I would have liked to have processed this all online but a form had to be printed, posted off etc but all was fine and appreciate great customer service. Thank you. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Excellent!

My initial enquiry was answered quickly and fully. Relevant forms received the following day and I was able to make an appointment for the following day. Sue was ready and waiting when I arrived. No hiccups and I can’t fault the service or the staff. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

No clue on website as to where to post application caused problems

Wanted to open a Cash ISA. Branch only open morning so no good for me. Printed off form, completed and sent with cheque to Head Office (no clue on website where to send applications for new accounts). After a week of hearing nothing, phoned head office, was transferred to Andover branch, which was wrong branch. Only saving grace was lady in Andover branch who took ownership of my problem, phoned round your branches until she tracked my application down, and then phone dme back with an update that day. Great customer service. Passbook has now finally arrived but disappointed to see account not backdated to day it would have arrived at your head office (almost a week difference). Bit ungenerous in the circumstances Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Reply from Newbury Building Society Hi Barry, we are sorry to hear that you experienced these frustrations. We will review the instructions and make them clearer. Response date: 20th April 2021

New account

Excellent service received from the Andover branch of Newbury Building Society, initially spoke to someone on the phone who assisted with my queries and then visited the branch next day to open my account. Very friendly staff in the branch and a very quick and easy process to setup the account. My bank book has been received in the post and the online setup for the account was also very easy, better interest rate as well than the normal banks! Reviewed on: 10th April 2021
