Poor app. Poor app. Inaccessible, no updates regarding a fix except for a message on their website which has remained unchanged for well over a week. Reviewed on: 29th May 2026

Kendra at the Bishop’s Stortford branch really helped me out with my savings account. She figured out that my current savings account wasn’t giving me the most for my money so helped me to change it to one that works best for me. She was so informative and really helped me with what I needed. Thank you Reviewed on: 24th February 2026

Much more than just a bank.

As a newly appointed Treasurer of a local community group I have found SBS amazingly easy to work with on all aspects of my role. The group had been through an odd time since Covid with many key Committee members dying, becoming too ill to operate independently or having medical issues. Therefore aspects of the financial operation had been allowed to deteriorate. SBS in a matter of days / few weeks l allowed the group/committee to become functional again. Aspects of their f2f operations are outstanding. Staff are very well trained in all parts of their services. And furthermore give very practical sound advice. Reviewed on: 24th February 2026

Easy to get hold of on the phone and everyone I have spoken to has been efficient and swift to process my requests. Opening an account by post was a lot quicker than I expected. For a smaller banking operation, I'm very impressed Reviewed on: 24th February 2026

Excellent customer service

Went in to pay a cheque into my account, was advised that I could update/switch my account to one with a better interest rate - the whole process took 5 minutes. Reviewed on: 24th February 2026
