Our customer service is trusted by thousands, and we have the awards to back it up. In the past two years alone, we have been named:

Oh, and we hold a ServiceMark with Distinction, accredited by the Institute of Customer Service. We're the only bank or building society to have one of those.

Whether you’ve been with us 5 days or 50 years, whether you transact online, over the phone, or in branch, we’re committed to delivering exceptional service every single day. When we say we care about our customers, we don’t just talk the talk, we’ve got the awards to prove it.

And neither are going anywhere.

Yes, you can open accounts online and manage your savings with our myaccounts app, but we know for many - speaking to a real person still matters. That's why our branches are here to stay, and we're investing in them too:

  • Refurbishing our branches (five completed so far!), making them more modern, comfortable and spacious.

  • Extending opening hours in some locations.

  • Installing a OneBanx machine in Thatcham to bring free cash access to the whole community.

Grab your passbook, pop in, and say hello to a member of the team - we're ready and waiting to provide expert, personalised customer service with a smile.

The banks could learn from NBS. It gives genuine pleasure to interact with a real person, our recent dealings with NBS have been a lesson in how to get customer service right. Unfailing politeness coupled with real efficiency and product knowledge in branch staff.
