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.

Vsited the Edinburgh branch couple of weeks ago to open an account and, as the colleague was already with an appointment, I was offered an alternative appointment. The manager personally came over to discuss other options, which I really appreciated. I prefer face-to-face human interaction, and the team were extremely apologetic and professional throughout. I'm submitting this feedback later as I wanted to wait until I received all the promised documentation, which arrived as expected. Thank you for delivering on your commitments and making me feel valued as a new client Read more Read less
