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

Great interest!

The member of staff who opened my new account was so personable. Everything was clearly explained regarding this product, alongside the opportunity to have a relaxed conversation with her. I will quite happily recommend Basingstoke branch to others as a result of my experiences. Reviewed on: 17th May 2022

We plan to change from individual ISAs to a joint savings account.

We received a warm friendly greeting, firstly from Samantha who showed the options available. We then arranged an appointment to implement the change. Catherine was very helpful and thorough which made the whole process relatively easy. Reviewed on: 13th May 2022

Opening a higher intrest accounts but retaining some capital in "old" accounts

Having been sent new interest rates after being customers for over 1 year, we opted to move money to higher interest accounts. At the same visit we were advised to keep some of the capital in the original accounts. Good customer service. Thank you. Reviewed on: 13th May 2022

Old Fashioned high quality service.

Old style service. Given C19 and general degradation of Customer Service it's refreshing to get a service that harks back to 'the good old' days. Hopefully it will catch on elsewhere. Reviewed on: 13th May 2022
