Saving with Scottish Building Society.

5
Over the past decade or so ,I have received a consistently high standard of service from the staff at the Galashiels branch of the Scottish Building Society.,where Lorraine has been particularly helpful. In the past few days,Sophie in the Aberdeen branch and Kaia ,in Edinburgh ,have provided invaluable,accurate information relating to a possible reinvestment of matured funds. For any company to have such a high calibre of employees strewn across the “ four corners of Scotland speaks volumes for the high standard of the recruitment employed by Scottish Building Society. It goes without saying that I would recommend this institution to anyone wishing to find a home for their savings. Well done to all concerned…….and thank you. Reviewed on: 18th November 2025
