Brilliant Customer Service

I opened a savings account by post....I managed to forget to print the back page properly and a lovely lady called me to say they still needed a signature, sent the missing page to me by first class post with a pre paid envelope to return it, and explained timescales etc. I Love smaller Building Societies like Newbury as you get a much more personal service than you do with big nationals.

Great service and good product

Caroline was very helpful and professional in the whole interview and found us the product that suited us well. Pity about the rate! But competitive in the current climate. Reviewed on: 28th February 2020

Opened an account only for it to be closed within 24 hrs

Everything went really well. It was all set up very quickly and I was told I was accepted and the account was open. But...the next day I was notified it was closed and funds returned because I was not permitted to have a second account from the same product. It would have been better had I at least been offered the chance to convert to a different product and have the choice. Newbury is an excellent service provider generally, so this was an unexpected blip. Reviewed on: 28th February 2020

It took a little longer than I imagined it would take. It was, after all, a fairly simple job.

I wanted to open an existing member's account. The instructions for online transfer to achieve this were not particularly clear and the process was delayed due to my needing to prove my identity for an account that was only available t existing members - seems a little illogical...

Opening a Savings Account

I opened a Savings Account and found the process easy and quick. Newbury doenst offer the best rate in the market but it's not far off. With the peace of mind that they offer very pleased to be dealing with them and would duggest they are a good choice. Reviewed on: 28th February 2020

Friendly and helpful staff

Good service. A short wait in the branch so probably better to make an appointment though I wasn't in a rush. Reviewed on: 24th February 2020

central location with friendly helpful staff.

Always able cheerfully to provide knowledgeable and useful advise to any question I have I have asked about. Reviewed on: 23rd February 2020

Overall a good experience

My experience was good. It would’ve been better had there been bonds to purchase. Also being offered a beverage at the appointment would’ve given a more welcoming, professional touch. Reviewed on: 21st February 2020
