I've always used comparison sites to get good rates it was only when I read the small print did I realise I could be missing a good deal. Now I check Newbury first Reviewed on: 1st December 2021

I highly recommend Newbury Building Society in Didcot

5
A lovely helpful lady called Samantha helped me with my Newbury Building Society savings account and also to help me set up my 4 grandchildren's accounts for them. She made me feel very welcome and spent a great deal of time explaining in detail to me . She made my experience a really good one and I recommend Samantha who apparently usually works from Abingdon branch. Newbury Building Society in Didcot is very convenient and accessible for me to use. A lovely friendly helpful place. I highly recommend. Reviewed on: 29th November 2021
