Liked the 'Welcome to Newbury BS' account

I liked the good interest rate on the 'Welcome to Newbury BS' account. And it was easy to open the account. Reviewed on: 13th October 2019

Very Explainable view on savings transfer from another bank and Interest favourable than other banks Reviewed on: 11th October 2019

Take your money...then keep it.

A joke organisation. Easy to open an account. Verification codes entered, proof of receiving account sent. A few months later when we need to withdraw money, no permission as they deny receiving proof of receiving account and say we didn't verify our online banking which we had to do to be logged in. Utter disgrace leaving us in difficulty and £6000 overdrawn. Reviewed on: 11th October 2019

Good rates and very east to deal with

I am a fairly newcomer to Newbury BS. I opened an online easy access savings account last year, and have now opened another at a slightly higher rate. The website is easy to navigate, and the text is plain English and easy to understand. I've also dealt with them over the phone, and again a no-hassle straighforward approach. Very happy to recommend. Reviewed on: 11th October 2019

WE have always found the Newbury Building Society a friendly Society in which to invest our savings

This week my husband & I opened a senior saving account . The young lady who served us was very efficient and friendly. She explained every thing that was felt we should know about the new account. Reviewed on: 5th October 2019

Excellent

I had an appointment with Dawn in the Andover Branch. Very kind and very helpful when I asked questions. I left with a folder of relevant information and I was promised I’d get my book in the post the following day, and I did. Couldn’t be more pleased. Reviewed on: 4th October 2019

Amazing speedy service

Wanted to open a new savings account and the service was fantastic. Did not need to book appointment, just walked in and was seen straight away by a polite young man. He talked me though all my options and I let fully assured I had made the right choice. Thank you Reviewed on: 4th October 2019

great rates and easy to open account

I was looking for somewhere that had a better than average interest rate but still gave me the access I wanted - Newbury B S ticked those boxes and more. The account was easy to open and all the information I needed was easily found. Would recommend highly. Reviewed on: 4th October 2019
