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

Thanks Tracie

Visited Andover branch on Friday to sort out savings and look at opening up another account. Tracie was so helpful and explained everything really clearly regarding opening up more accounts. We opened up two accounts there and then in the branch with no appointment needed unlike when I visited my bank! Lovely, friendly branch and will now look to moving my mortgage to them in November.
