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

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.

I made an appointment to discuss transferring an ISA from a bank to a new account with SBS as I was finding the bank’s web based service difficult to navigate. June explained the process to me, completed the form and said that SBS would manage the whole transfer process for me. It was so refreshing to experience great customer service in person - June could not have been more helpful. Read more Read less

One of the best things is that you can always chat to a real person, not a bot!! It makes such a difference, and that person is at a local branch - such a rarity these days, and so appreciated. Shirley in the Inverness branch is very easy to speak with, and exceptionally helpful. Highly recommend both this building society and their staff - I have been a member for many years and always very happy with the service. Read more Read less
