fairly easy to open a new account online, although operations obviously still focussed on face to face interaction. Easily accessible information on types of accounts available and current interest rates. Reviewed on: 21st February 2022

I opened an EMA account and tried to transfer money to it. The money was returned due to incorrect details put in by me when setting up the transfer. I telephoned NBS and was transferred to Andover branch where I spoke to Tracey. Tracey was extremely helpful, advising me of the correct wording and offering to inform me when funds did arrive in my new account, which she did. Reviewed on: 18th February 2022

NBS are great. I have saved with them for many years - and am always greeted with a smile. They were great during the pandemic too, checking on their teams & customers. They deserve the award for being the BEST. Reviewed on: 17th February 2022
