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

Fantastic service

I love going to the Basingstoke branch. All the staff are friendly and welcoming. Cassie in particular takes the time to explain everything clearly and goes above and beyond when dealing with any questions or queries I have had. She also remembers little details like a few weeks ago I was going to visit my daughter and on my next visit she asked how I got on. A very high level of personal service which is sadly lacking from a lot of companies these days. Keep up the excellent work. Reviewed on: 20th October 2021

Simple straightforward banking. Just as it should be.

I recently opened up a couple of Savings accounts with the Newbury. The service was a refreshing change, simple, quick, professional, & straightforward. Every time I deal with the Newbury my faith the banking section is restored a bit more. Reviewed on: 15th October 2021

Introduction to new savings account.

Gladys was excellent at explaining all aspects of the new account to me from what the investment limits were through to the withdrawal limits. As well as other products on offer. I would recommend the Newbury Building Society as a friendly investor to trust going forwards. Reviewed on: 15th October 2021

Opening new savings account

I went into the branch in Abingdon and although I didn’t have an appointment was told if I could come back in an hour I could see someone to open a new account.. I had a phone call within the hour saying person I needed to see was now available if I’d like to come in., The whole process was dealt with very professionally by Samantha James who was very informative of the account I opened.. the savings book arrived a few days later and I’m now ready to start my savings. All in all very straight forward experience and the staff in the Abingdon branch are very friendly. Reviewed on: 15th October 2021

Reply from Newbury Building Society Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback - I know Samantha and the team in Abingdon will be so pleased to hear this. Response date: 15th October 2021

Excellent service

Opened a savings account online. Being stupid, I did not understand a part of the process. Phoned for help. Call answered immediately. A charming person was extremely helpful and knowledgable and explained what I needed to do. The whole process took no more than a few minutes. If only more concerns were this efficient.
