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

Poor customer service commonplace

Service is often poor to the extent that I avoid phoning the call centre if I can help it. Reviewed on: 11th November 2018

Not helpful

Having had an overdraft for 15 years, they removed facility without notice and it caused stress and hardship. Poor customer service Reviewed on: 9th November 2018

GREAT OVERALL PRODUCT

I love this account as it is easy to use and operate and the overdraft facility has been fine tuned now so it advises you how much you can borrow and you can do this easily and simply in just a few clicks. The down side, and the only reason I do not give it FULL MARKS is that it is easier to borrow than to pay back and if I choose to pay back some of my overdraft this is shown as me being inconsistent instead of diligently managing my money! Otherwise, love this account. Reviewed on: 7th November 2018

Happy customer

Happy experience throughout my time their x Reviewed on: 7th November 2018

Needs Improvement

I once bought a product which was of no service or use to me and when i requested a refund it was refused. Not the kind of service i need. Reviewed on: 6th November 2018

Great friendly bank

This has been a great experience. I was really struggling financially and was able to get back on track with the help of Bank of Scotland, They initially provided me with a basic account when I had none, then after time allowing me to upgrade to a classic account. I would not hesitate to recommend them to others. Reviewed on: 6th November 2018

good product

easy to use account perfect for first account Reviewed on: 17th July 2018

Fees are too much

I have a platinum account and the fees are too much. It started out at £12 per month and now it is £17 per month. Reviewed on: 13th June 2018

Great service

Having held a current account with the bank for many years I have always found the service I receive fantastic and the staff incredibly helpful at my local branch. Reviewed on: 11th February 2018

Force to automation

Sadly like other banks they do not like you interacting with a staff member any more and prefer you to use the dreadful automated machines that keep breaking down Reviewed on: 8th February 2018
