How to open a Newcastle savings account

The options we offer are:

Online application

Just follow the simple instructions on screen. However, before you start, please make sure you have to hand the sort code and account number of the bank/building society account you wish to nominate to allow you to electronically transfer money from your Newcastle Building Society account at your request.

You will also require your National Insurance Number (if you're applying for an ISA)

It will take approximately 10 minutes to complete your application online.

Note: This is not available for all accounts

At your local branch

To find your nearest branch, visit our branch finder.

To open an account at a branch, simply take along your investment and proof of your identity and your address.

Wherever possible, we try to prove your identity via an electronic authorisation system but sometimes – if you have recently moved home, for example – we may not be able to make a match. In these cases we may require further original documentation.
