Newbury Building Society Savings reviews (8723)

Love the community cohesion shown by this building society

5
How many financial institutions care about their communities to the degree that the Newbury building society does, they set an excellent example to all bankers and for this reason I vote for them to win the savings category, I have no experience of their mortgage services. Reviewed on: 10th January 2020

A safe home for liquid investments

5
The local staff of Newbury Building Society are efficient, friendly and professional. The Building Society offers a slightly higher savings interest rate to their customers for some of their accounts, and limits the amount that can be invested in these accounts so this is not to the detriment of borrowers from the Building Society. Reviewed on: 10th January 2020

Good for small savings

3
Savings rates are good, but amounts you can save are very limited. Web experience is really poor, but customer service staff are excellent. Executive team don't seem to be doing a good job on web front or savings amounts. Reviewed on: 7th January 2020

Good old fashion values, in a time of high tech modern world!

5
A humbled, well balanced approach to all aspects of financial matters, with added local values. A committed Team who strive for their community, because we the members of public, no matter what age, like and embrace. They value their customers, they know their customers, what matters is the customers know their staff. Always receive an efficient and prompt service no matter what investment or other financial advice is required. Reviewed on: 7th January 2020
