Opening an ISA with the Newbury Building Society

As I already had a savings account with Newbury, the process did not take long. I was in and out in about half an hour. Ken at the Basingstoke Branch was very helpful and friendly and gave me all the information I needed to know. The service was very quick and efficient: thepassbook arrived the following day.

Service like no other and great rates

I have been to a couple of NBS branches now and everyone has been friendly and helpful. I was even offered a better account without asking, not something I get from the banks until I threaten to take my money away. Not to mention the best interest rates on my local high street. Keep up the great work Newbury! Reviewed on: 21st January 2020

A star provider

This is the only savings provider that contacts me to tell me there is a better account for my specific circumstances...having remembered what those are !!!' No other provider gives such a personal service. Would not hesitate to recommend them to friends and family. Reviewed on: 20th January 2020

Efficient and straightforward transaction.

What can I say?It went smoothly,in fact, it was so smooth that we recieved our new papers before the money was transfered out of our bank account,where the interet rate is truely pathetic.It is comforting to know that the money we hold for emergency use is earning some interest.Thank you so much. Kind regards, Ritva Reviewed on: 20th January 2020
