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

Holly and Lisa were fantastic. The manager sat with me and went through all of my savings options in such detail. She took the time to understand my personal circumstances and was much more interested in understanding my purpose and intentions rather than simply trying to sell me accounts. I have never experienced service like this. I didn’t have an appointment and, although I said I would come back because she was on her lunch break, she insisted on helping me. You can see that she has a wealth of knowledge and experience. She was genuinely invested in helping me and really listened to what I had to say. I genuinely felt valued today. I’m now going into Edinburgh to meet with her again to complete the accounts. 10 out of 10. Read more Read less
