Reviews for Scottish Building Society have trended positively over the past 90 days

Scottish Building Society really shines with its friendly, helpful staff and the personal touch of local branches, which many find reassuring and easy to deal with. The savings products are generally well explained and competitive, though some feel the interest rates could be better. Online services and digital processes often frustrate users, especially with ISA transfers and account management, and there’s a strong wish for more branches and improved digital tools.

Positive themes

  • Scottish Building Society’s staff are consistently friendly, helpful, and professional.
  • The personal service and face-to-face contact at Scottish Building Society branches is much appreciated.
  • Scottish Building Society’s ISA and savings account staff provide clear advice and helpful support.

Negative themes

  • The online system is often confusing and not user-friendly for Scottish Building Society savers.
  • Interest rates at Scottish Building Society are sometimes seen as uncompetitive or too low.
  • Fewer branches and limited local access frustrate many Scottish Building Society customers.

I found the customer experience in the branch to be very good but have now moved to a small town without a branch so set up online dealings. There were a couple of snags in the process but I was able to quickly speak with an advisor who talked me through to process to get started. The website looks easy enough but I would still prefer to use a branch if there was one near me. Read more Read less
