A Long term relationship

I have been with the Newbury Building Society since 1979. Initially, as with most people I guess we started with a mortgage My wife's parents ha a mortgage with them, and their parents before them. We have long finished the mortgage but still invest with them in many ways. The staff at the society are always friendly and helpful. We opened accounts for all our children allong the way Reviewed on: 7th January 2020

Great Building Society

A great interest rate and great service Reviewed on: 7th January 2020

Great for both borrowing and saving.

I have been a customer of the Newbury Building Society for over 20 years, beginning with a small savings account and then with the transfer of my mortgage in the 1990s. Their rates were at least as good as any others I could find, but their flexibility was better than most yet without being irresponsible or encouraging me to be so. When a fresh mortgage was required at very short notice a few years ago, the Society's performance was astonishingly quick and helpful. They "go the extra mile", a saying that is so often used in exaggeration but not this time! Reviewed on: 7th January 2020
