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 have had such difficulty with other providers when dealing with my bond maturities. Kaia and June at Scottish building Society have been top class by far.

    Friendly and helpful staff. Find the website difficult to use. Visually, very difficult to use due to colour of wording which makes accessibility difficult.
