Being a pensioner on my own I am just so happy to be a member and part of SBS heritage. The future of the Society looks really bright and with all the hard work that goes into it I would have no hesitation in recommending SBS to anyone who is looking or thinking about taking out a mortgage with the world’s oldest building society. Long may it continue. Reviewed on: 14th March 2022
