Very helpful lady served us

Opening a new account wasn't easy at first

Trying to find everything online to open a new Newbury account wasn't straightforward. Could only find the application form for a Shared account and not a sole account. Also, under the Welcome to Newbury account, there was the option to 'Apply Online' but then it didn't appear on the drop down menu for 'myaccounts'. Once downloaded, the Shared form was easy to fill in (crossing out the 2nd applicant) and everything went smoothly from then on Reviewed on: 13th December 2019

Reply from Newbury Building Society Hi Brenda, thank you for taking the time to leave feedback - we will have a look at the process online to try an make it clearer. We have recently removed the option to open the Welcome to Newbury account online, which is why the link did not appear, we will review the content to ensure this is clearer. Many thanks Response date: 16th December 2019

A good savings rate in the present economy and friendly and efficient staff.

I don't have too much dealings with the newbury building society as I no longer live within their catchment area, but the rate of interest I get on my account with them is good when compared to other banks. However, any time that I do need to contact them by post or telephone, I always receive fast, efficient and friendly service. Reviewed on: 5th December 2019

Reward for Existing Members

Great account, great rate and straightforward to set up. It's great to get a good account which rewards customer loyalty. Reviewed on: 3rd December 2019

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.
