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.

  • Scottish Building Society Savings offers clear explanations and helpful advice. (6 mentions)

An extremely helpful, knowledegable Natalie listened, understood, answered and dealt with every question I had. SO rare nowadays and so refreshing. A cut above nearly all other organisations I deal with. Instead of hours listening to announcements and warnings, holding on forever before getting through, being sent to India or Timbuktoo and being met by scripted answers (or even an "AI") to questions I didn't ask Natalie answered and discussed everything I asked at my level in a precise and tailored manner. If only all "organisations" were half as good at dealing with my questions! Read more Read less
