Scottish Building Society’s Savings service shines with genuinely friendly, helpful staff who make everything feel easy and personal. People love being able to pop into local branches and get clear advice without any pressure. The interest rates are decent but some wish they were a bit more competitive, and a few find the online and ISA transfer processes a bit old-fashioned and slow.

    Great service

    Lorraine was patient despite the branch being very busy this morning when we visited. We did not feel rushed and received our usual great service. Always enjoy visiting Galashiels branch.

    Spoke to Sofie to get re-registered for my savings account - which wasn’t particularly straight forward. Sofie patiently walked me through this. I was very impressed.
