I had difficulty loging into the new system.I am now 78 and the instructions were not clear. I eventually got in successfully and everything seemed Ok until I tried again later and I could not get in. I phoned in and got Katie McKnight who was excellent and solved all my problems. The main problem I have is that I am now 78 and the system I don't think takes into account older customers. Read more Read less

I was happy to see that SBS has refreshed its online service as the previous service was sometimes a bit difficult to use. The new website seems to work well. I did have a problem with obtaining initial access to the new website. A phone call to their help desk was needed. I was on hold for only about 15 seconds when Katie McKnight at the Troon service center answered my call. She was very helpful and applied a quick fix on her end so that I can now access my account properly. Read more Read less
