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

Very Helpful

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

A vote for my local building society

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
