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

It was very relaxed with everything being explained and lots of opportunity to ask questions. Did not feel rushed into making a decision Reviewed on: 5th November 2021

Great customer service

We popped into the Basingstoke branch in the hope of opening a savings account fully expecting to have to book an appointment however the staff in branch went out of their way to help us and we had two accounts opened up for us within half an hour and our passbooks were delivered by post the very next morning. You have a great team in Basingstoke. Reviewed on: 5th November 2021

Almost closing my account

I had intended to close my account and invest the money elsewhere, but the action of the cashier stopped my intended transaction as she made me aware that I could get a better rate of interest by switching account Reviewed on: 5th November 2021

Excellent customer service

As a new customer, and new to the area, I wanted to know a little about savings accounts available. Very helpful, well explained, not at all pushy. Helped me to decide on which ones would be best for me. Reviewed on: 3rd November 2021

New Customer

I had some money to invest which was doing nothing in a Barclays Bank Cash ISA. Moved the money to Newbury as it is a local building society still owned by its members (not shareholders). Excellent customer service, better rates, tea and cake for 165th birthday on Monday. Barclays customer service awful. Reviewed on: 29th October 2021

Easy to open account!

Opening a new account was easy and straightforward. Everything was explained clearly and it was great to not have to open the account on line. Reviewed on: 25th October 2021

Very helpful, pleasant & informative

I was recommended by neighbours what a helpful service you give in the Alton, Hampshire branch. The counter lady explained thoroughly to me about different accounts I could open as I had explained to her my requirements. After opening three separate accounts with you, I left feeling assured I had opened the correct accounts for me. Reviewed on: 23rd October 2021

Always friendly and helpful my only complaint would be the website difficult to find way around when opening a new account. Reviewed on: 22nd October 2021
