Highly understanding and helpful building society. We needed to change our current mortgage provider to help son buy his first home. Our previous provided was unwilling and unhelpful to be able to do this - Newbury were a real pleasure to engage with and we've stayed with them.

I had problems with accessing my online account, I found in necessary to call customer service many times, they helped me reset passwords and memorable name. I am of the era where we don’t do technology but needs must, without the support of Gemma and Ellie, I would have given up. They were both patient (they needed to be) kind and helpful, we even ended up having a giggle. So now thanks to them I can get onto online banking through an App. You are never too old to learn. Thank you Gemma and Ellie. X Read more Read less
