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

Setting up new savings accounts in Basingstoke branch

The Newbury Head Office and Basingstoke teams have all been very helpful, friendly, approachable, informative and professional. Isobel managed our appointment to set up multiple accounts, and explained all aspects to ensure we were opening an account to suit our needs. We opened an account for my spouse and I, and our son who is under 16. Isobel answered all of our questions illustrating excellent knowledge of the available products, which enabled us to make an informed decision on the products suiting our needs. Our experience with Newbury BS has been exemplary and we will be a long term customer no doubt investing in further products with Newbury BS from hereon. Thank you Newbury Building Society, wish we had found you sooner! Reviewed on: 14th February 2020

Best Customer Care received for some time - regardless of category.

Had a lump sum which I wanted to place in an instant access account. Having checked around, Newbury B S offered one of the best interest rates. It was also the recommendation of some friends who had been customers of Newbury B.S. which was a major factor. I was genuinely surprised at the level of C Care from branch staff, the professionalism, friendliness and overall efficiency. As for decisions needed at Head Office & their rapid response,k that too has been a delight. My congratulations to all. Reviewed on: 8th February 2020
