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

Personal and friendly

In branch I am always welcomed warmly, service is always swift. The personal approach where we still pull up a chair to chat with the advisor makes me proud to bank with them. A First class service every time. Reviewed on: 4th January 2018

Excellent saving rates, friendly staff, most efficient service

5
I recently joined Newbury Building Society as a new savings investor, being attracted by a very competitive interest rate. My application was completed in branch (Andover) and I was immediately impressed by the friendly and efficient service I received. My savings book arrived 2 days later and this was followed by a member of Newbury Building Society staff checking that my account had been successfully opened. I have been extremely satisfied by the standard of product, the manner in which it has been processed, and the efficient and courteous staff involved in welcoming me to an excellent Building Society.

Best Building Society there is

I have been a saver with the Newbury for many years, too numerous to mention, but probably about 25 years. I like their friendliness, the interest rates and their convenience. Reviewed on: 4th January 2018
