The Scottish Building Society offered us a mortgage when other lenders refused because of our age. Their rates are competitive and their customer service is excellent. Reviewed on: 10th May 2020

I like the staff - very reassuring. Don't like the contract showing the 'worst scenario' for repayments which don't seem necessary and subsequently cause stress. Reviewed on: 28th March 2020

We have been savers with the Scottish Building Society for many years, and had two mortgages with them. We have found every contact by phone, letter, or personal visit to one of their network of offices a pleasure. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and efficient. The SBS is small independent Scottish based mutual society who we frequently recommend to friends, family, and business colleagues. We are proud to be members, and choose the SBS over the larger impersonal, and less efficient companies who only seem interested in maximising profit from customers. Reviewed on: 18th February 2020
