Scottish Building Society Branch Review

Disappointed there is no longer a regular savers account. Reviewed on: 22nd February 2022

Local, reliable, friendly

5
Have just been with the Society for one year. Have spoken on the phone twice just to get clarification about things. I like the fact this is a proper building society. Very impressed how quickly you get to speak to a member of staff who is friendly, patient and informative.Very pleased with my ISA performance. Reviewed on: 5th September 2024

Service, branches, staff

5
I like having a local branch, especially as the staff are very helpful. One improvement would be longer opening hours at least one day a week or even opening on a Saturday for an hour. Reviewed on: 4th September 2024

Mutuality, personal service

4
Remains a building society providing personal (not robotic) service. Reviewed on: 4th September 2024

Friendly, efficient, encouraging

I like that I recognise the helpful member of staff on the desk. I don't like that I had to send away my passbook as it is my proof of having deposited money, and I now have a new ISA but no passbook. I don't like the term 'relationship centre' please go back to referring to them as local branches or offices. Reviewed on: 4th September 2024

Easy to understand

I have never had any type of account with you. I decided to open one as you are situated in the town centre and easy to get to. Shannon was helpful and explained everything to me, it was also lovely to see Natalie again whom I know in another Society. Always polite and helpful. Reviewed on: 4th September 2024

Excellent

Very friendly and efficient staff. We were very satisfied with the manner in which our requested accounts were set-up so quickly. Reviewed on: 4th September 2024

The details on the website didn't seem to show the maturity date of the bond. Reviewed on: 4th September 2024

Friendly and approachable

The Galashiels branch were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Jill, in particular, made the whole experience a pleasure, the only downside is that if more than one customer is in there, there is little confidentiality. The upgraded branch is a great success. I have no issues going into the branch. Reviewed on: 4th September 2024
