No hassle transfer

As a new member of the Newbury Building Society I transferred money from a current account I have with a bank via the internet; there was no problem and it is good to enjoy a hassle-free experience. Why did I not find the Newbury BS sooner? Reviewed on: 11th November 2019

A really good experience

I called in at your Winchester branch to open savings accounts with you at about lunch time last Wednesday. It was a quiet time but I was immediately ushered into a private space where Subhashini Venkatesan took me through all the business and made it so easy. I opened 2 accounts and the passbooks were delivered to me on Thursday. All in all and enjoyable experience and the products seem very good value as well. Reviewed on: 8th November 2019
