Great old fashioned personal service

I came to the Winchester branch to open a further account. The counter ladies were very professional, but not officious, warm and relaxed. They opened my account and said my passbook would be posted to me, I received it very quickly especially given the Christmas post. There’s no substitute for friendly face to face service Reviewed on: 24th December 2021

Poor delivery

Why does it take 3 days to successfully open an account online, when you are already an existing customer? Definite room for improvement. No apology received either. Reviewed on: 22nd December 2021

Reply from Newbury Building Society HI - thank you for your feedback - we would like to review what happened during your account opening experience so that we can improve - or manage expectations of the process, if there was a reason for this. Please do contact us on marketing @newbury.co.uk and we will be happy to look into this for you. Response date: 22nd December 2021
