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

1st Class - we couldn't have asked for more

My husband and I called in to our local Andover Branch as potential new customers, having recently moved to the area. We opened a savings account each without any fuss or bother. It took about 30 minutes and Charlotte Couch handled the process in a friendly, courteous and professional way, explaining everything we needed to know about the society and its products. We left very impressed with the building society and the branch and have every intention of investing our savings in more products and look forward to being Newbury Building Society customers for many years to come.

Great job Will!

We wanted to revisit our savings accounts one year on from opening them. Will did an outstanding job in both understanding our circumstances and optimizing our interest earning opportunities for the year ahead, while also keeping us entertained with anecdotes while the accounts were being updated, Great job Will (Winchester Branch)!

Online account

Opening and viewing the account online was a little bit fraught because I couldn't distinguish between an oh and a zero on the verification code . However Newbury were very helpful and it is all sorted now Reviewed on: 27th November 2019

Reply from Newbury Building Society Hi Roy, thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We are pleased to hear you have now sorted you online accounts, please do let us know if there is any other issues. Many thanks Response date: 28th November 2019

Not very impressed at the moment

I am unable to log in to my account. It simply says some of your details are incorrect. I don't think they are incorrect because I managed to log in successfully a few days ago. I have requested an email so I can change my password (if that is the problem) but after several attempts no email has arrived. Your office isn't open until Monday morning so I cant even phone you until then. Reviewed on: 23rd November 2019

Reply from Newbury Building Society Hi Lyn, we are sorry to hear that you have not been able to access your online account this weekend, we will contact you this morning. Response date: 25th November 2019

Way too difficult

Opening an online account is just so laborious and off putting, you have to be very determined to keep going. It’s almost a case of ‘how could you make it any more difficult’ Reviewed on: 22nd November 2019

Reply from Newbury Building Society Hi Bryan, thank you for taking the time to leave feedback - we are looking at improving our online processes so if you are able to email us with more detail of your experience, it would be really helpful.
