Bank of Scotland Classic Account reviews (119)

The Bank for a lifetime.

5
I opened my first bank account at the Bank of Scotland at 15 years old. Over 35 years later nothing has ever made me contemplate leaving for another Bank. Competitive in every way, but their customer service has always been the main benefit. From Business banking to personal banking, mortgage to insurance, they are always on hand to help. I have never had a bad experience. Cannot recommend them more. Reviewed on: 27th February 2025

5 years of fabulousness!

I have been with bank of Scotland for five years now. I have had a secondary bank account with other banks in between. I always trust that bank of Scotland has the best intentions for me and my money. Overall, I feel very secure having bank of Scotland as my main banking provider and won’t be swapping from them anytime soon. Reviewed on: 26th February 2025

Basic, no-frills bank account

This account could appeal to anyone looking for a straightforward bank account that charges no monthly fee but also allows them to earn interest on their balance. You can also benefit from cashback at selected retailers and round up your card payments with the Save the Change feature. Reviewed on: 26th February 2025

Great bank, always helpful and can speak to human if needed Reviewed on: 29th May 2024

The pervasive impact of white mediocrity

1
The branch in Morningside Edinburgh is grossly inefficient and run by a manager who struts around with an iPad asking people inane things like, ‘how are you with the cash machine, alright?’, but he couldn’t help me to get a diary slot in his colleague’s diary to set up an Executor Account. The cashiers seem fine but don’t try to do anything out of the norm. Can’t do it online, can’t do it in branch so I will take my business to another bank. Reviewed on: 24th May 2024

No local banks and low interest rates.
