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 Customer Service

Customer service and front of house a real differentiator. So much so, that Newbury will be my first port of call when we need something else. Reviewed on: 12th February 2022

A First Class Service

Julie Harness - helped us to open a savings account. I had considered going to one of the big firms online but something told me to look local. I was right. Julie was fantastic; clear, professional and beyond helpful. We made the right decision. Julie is an asset. Reviewed on: 12th February 2022

Opening existing members acc

Absolutely brilliant service! I had filled the form incorrectly when applying to open acc, received a call and arranged to pop into branch where this was sorted and opened within 10 mins! Fantastic friendly helpful service Reviewed on: 11th February 2022

Opening 2 x accounts

Upon entering all of the staff were welcoming. Went in without an appointment and they happily opened 2 accounts for my son then and there. Although it started to get busy, the other members of staff working were apologetic but then quickly resolved any issues. The member of staff dealing with myself was polite and chatty without putting any extra delay on the process. They also made my son feel happy and this stopped him from being upset whilst waiting for boring adult stuff. Overall really happy and glad to be a new member. Reviewed on: 11th February 2022

Good easy access savings.

I was contacted by my local branch to tell me that as I’d had a ‘Welcome to Newbury’ account for a year I was entitled to open a ‘ members account’ with a better interest rate. I did this online and was immediately able to transfer money across. I did have to ring them as I’d managed to get my password wrong but a very helpful lady sorted this out instantly. Very helpful friendly people and better than normal rate of interest. Reviewed on: 11th February 2022
