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

Opening new account

Opening my account on line was easy to do. When I needed advice it was nice to talk to branch personnel (instead of a robot) who were knowledgeable, and polite. The branch even took the time to ring me back to assure me that my transferred funds have arrived into the account. Overall a very pleasant and stress less experience. Reviewed on: 14th January 2022

Comprehensive and safe

Thank you Catherine for taking us through the procedure to open two EMAs and transfer some funds to them from our Welcome accounts. The explanation was comprehensive, anticipating most of my questions. The one you couldn't answer (relating to prevention of carpetbagging, prevalent in the 1990s) you sought confirmation rather than guess. That in itself inspires confidence. We now know this is covered in your windfall policy. Despite there still being 150,000 new covid cases a day in England, the set up in the shiny new branch was all we could ask for and we felt safe during our meeting. I came away with more extra info than I really needed but am now well-prepared to consider NBS as a place to put more savings when the time comes. See you in the new tax year.

Discuss savings accounts and options for me, a new member.

Excellent. On arrival for my appointment I was greeted with a smile by the lady behind the screen. I was asked my name, asked to take a sit, Michelle arrived promptly and I was given a choice of seats in a room that was well ventilated. Michelle listened to what I had in mind. Then she discussed products which suited my needs, with no confusing jargon. Reviewed on: 12th January 2022
