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

Scottish Building Society’s Savings product shines with genuinely friendly, helpful staff who make face-to-face visits a pleasure. People appreciate clear explanations and personal service, especially when setting up or transferring ISAs. However, many find the limited branch network frustrating and wish for longer opening hours or more local branches. Online services and digital tools also lag behind expectations, causing some hassle.

I was delighted to hear that your Edinburgh branch has moved to a much more accessible location. I came into Edinburgh today to open a new bond due to the fantastic rates and I was assisted by Kaia. She went through all of the information thoroughly and I was very happy with the level of professionalism she showed. Read more Read less

I visited without an appointment to open an account and Lisa the manager, was more than happy to help. She took the time to go through everything with me and made the whole process really easy. We also discussed digital banking and, although I'm not quite ready, Lisa offered to spend some one on one time with me at a later date to show me how it all works. Nothing was too much trouble and I felt really well looked after. Excellent service! Read more Read less

After checking interest rates and local savings providers I chose the Scottish building society in Edinburgh. On arrival I was greeted and seated. June approached me introducing herself. In her office we discussed my requirements. I joined the society and opened a savings account at what I thought was a competitive rate. June was an excellent ambassador for your organisation. She was friendly and professional throughout. Overall I was impressed with my experience from initial phonecall onwards. Read more Read less
