Review of the Newbury Building Society, Savings:

Excellent saving rates, friendly staff, most efficient service

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.

My favourite savings partner

Ackim in Winchester was professional, patient, knowledgeable and a great representative of the organisation in helping me through the steps of opening two more accounts. The staff always greet me by name which is to be treasured in other faceless organisations Reviewed on: 4th April 2025

Personal service triumphs over digital contact

I recently visited the Wokingham branch in order to open a new account and was so impressed with the friendly, courteous and professional attitude of the staff. Special praise is due to Sindra who spent 40 minutes with me giving excellent advice . She was so well informed about the Society's products and what would be best for me and I really appreciated her personal service. I have held accounts with the Newbury for nearly 40 years and it remains my favourite of all the financial institutions I deal with. Reviewed on: 4th April 2025
