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

Starting with the phone call I made, I was given all the details about the savings accounts in a clear fashion. My visit to the branch enabled me to open the three accounts I wanted, which all carried very competitive rates of interest. I was given a warm welcome and the subsequent contact kept me fully informed. Maricel took me through the whole process from start to finish. Thank you Newbury BS. Reviewed on: 5th November 2021
