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

The Wokingham branch went out of their way to add new accounts for my wife and I. Splitting one check across two accounts, pre-entering information already held, etc. Frankly, not the service one normally receives and in a positive way. Reviewed on: 4th January 2018
