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

New Customer

Helpful friendly service with knowlegable colleagues Reviewed on: 13th July 2019

Transferring funds to ISA

Transferred funds only for them to be returned as had to re-register ISA and fill out manual form. There is nothing on the website to say that and not sure the reason if the account is open and active. Reviewed on: 12th July 2019

Reply from Newbury Building Society Hi Alison, sorry to hear this, we would like to understand why this has happened. There are a few possibilities due to HMRC requirements, i.e. if there is a break in the subscription, with no deposit was made in a fiscal year, there is then a requirement to re-register to retain the tax-free status of the account. We'd like to help if this is or is not the case, if you contact us at [email protected] or call us on 01635 555700, and we can investigate what happened and improve the information available on the website. Many thanks. Response date: 15th July 2019
