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

Easy cash ISA

Having unintentionally maxed out my Existing Member Account annual deposit limit I needed to open another interest paying account. I researched several alternative options online l but came back to Newbury Building Society because the interest rate for the service on the Easy cash ISA was comparible to some others and better than many and I have the advantage of being able to visit a branch to talk in person. Opening the account was the work of 15 minutes, so easy, and the lady doing this was friendly and talked me through every step, answered all my questions and provided me with my pass book and the literature associated with the account to read at home. I keep coming back to Newbury Building Society accounts and as a family we currently have and over the last twenty seven years have had, multiple accounts. I would unreservedly recommend them.

Very efficient, friendly service. No fuss.

I am putting money into the Newbury as I agree with its principles. The service that you get is very good- I could say old fashioned- which is just what I expect from a financial service provider. Reviewed on: 14th August 2020

Opening a new savings account could not have been easier.

I telephoned the branch and discussed my requirements re a new savings account. The person I was talking to was friendly, efficient, helped me identify the best account for my needs, took the relevant details and said there would be a package in the post the following day, which there was. Went into the branch with proof of identity and account was set up within 5 minutes. Passbook arrived in the post two days later. Reviewed on: 10th August 2020

Caroline explained everything clearly

Caroline took time to help me understand the various accounts on offer. This helped me to decide which was the right account for me. The online process took longer than I expected. As an existing member I thought the system would have pre populated forms and linked the accounts immediately, but it seemed Caroline had to re-input information you already hold.
