SBS support makes Managing finances straightforward.

5
Managing finances is not always straightforward. A mix of ISAs, Bonds, and savings accounts can lead to a little confusion in terms of what can be opened, transferred and managed in any particular time window. The customer services support not only oils the machinery and process to meet customer needs, but on a personal level made the interaction a pleasure. Reviewed on: 26th August 2025

Excellent and thoughtful service.

Branch Manager ( Troon ) couldn't have been more considerate and kind. Very thorough with her information and very kind. Their opening hours are very limited, but she continued serving me until our transaction was completed. Thank you very much Reviewed on: 26th August 2025

I recently got in touch by phone to ask about opening a new savings account and found the service to be warm, professional and helpful. The experience of choosing and opening an online account and making a cash transfer was easier and more straightforward than I’d imagined. Follow up communication by email and post has since been excellent, timely and personal. Overall I’m very pleased with the product and the service. Reviewed on: 22nd August 2025
