An ordinary small Building Society

Could not understand why the question was asked of me whether I was a notable person or knew of a notable person. Accounts with new providers have been opened immediately could not understand the few days it took to open this account especially as I was an existing saver. Nothing to make your society special also why the very low maximum amount to invest in this account not too sure now if I should have opened this account if I wanted to save a reasonable amount with a competitive interest rate.

Reply from Newbury Building Society Thank you for your feedback regarding opening an account with us. We take the accuracy and safety of the information we hold on our new and existing members very seriously, therefore, occasionally we have to ask for some additional information when new accounts are opened. If you wish to discuss this further our Direct Sales Manager would be pleased to explain the requirements in more detail. Many thanks again for taking time to provide your comments.

I experienced a few problems whilst registering and then accessing the account, e.g. with my password. However, when I phoned the helpline for assistance I was helped politely and quickly. Very pleased. Reviewed on: 29th April 2022

Local, friendly, courteous and knowledgeable.

Much appreciated the old fashioned courtesy that other financial services don’t have, a chair to sit and discuss your needs, a privacy barrier and kind understanding and knowledgeable staff. A first rate service. Reviewed on: 29th April 2022
