Review of the Newbury Building Society, Savings:

Really friendly, helpful staff and also easy to add funds by internet as well.

5
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

Should have done this earlier. The member of staff that dealt with myself and wife was very knowledgeable and the process of opening an account was swift and easy. Don't delay do it to-day. Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

Caroline was brilliant. She had everything ready for me on saving accounts and which ones are the best suited to me. She filled in the forms and did very thing for me. Because she knew what I wanted before hand and knows my situation she catered for my every need. Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020
