Excellent experience at the Winchester branch.

We had an excellent customer experience in the Winchester branch on two occasions opening savings accounts as new customers. Really welcoming, informative and patient branch manager who talked everything through with us without pressure. Excellent telephone support when there were difficulties accessing emailed passcodes. Apart from the frustration of multiple codes appearing online and not being accepted, we felt we were always in safe hands with immediate human responses and no delays, or automated robot morons which has been our experience elsewhere. We are very pleased to be Newbury customers. Reviewed on: 26th April 2025

Financial reassurance.

I initially phoned to sort out an issue with my online account and after a very friendly and informative conversation, it was decided that I should visit the branch and review my accounts. I visited the branch and although I tend to manage my transactions online it is local and convenient for me to use. The review went very well and again was conducted in a very friendly and competent manner, the information provided was very informative and the suggestions were relevant for my needs, I managed to make decisions on the advice offered which I’m very happy with. Vess who conducted the review was very friendly and knowledgeable about the products on offer and I’m looking forward to continuing my membership in the future, they are open seven days a week which helps if you need to visit, so I’m very happy with the experience. Regards mr P Mcgibbon. Reviewed on: 22nd April 2025
