Friendly local service

Been a member of the Scottish for many years. Great service and consistently good interest rates without introductory teasers and they're still a mutual. Reviewed on: 11th April 2021

Knowledgeable, friendly, helpful

I like that the staff are friendly and know my name. No question is too much trouble, they are always helpful. Reviewed on: 10th March 2025

Safe and traditional

I like the traditional feel, but the online experience is clunky. Reviewed on: 10th March 2025

In branch service review

We have only used the building society online. The main thing we like about this place is the fact that transactions are shown in a small book where it is easy to keep track of savings, unlike others where you are sent many pieces of paper yearly which is difficult. Reviewed on: 10th March 2025

At least it's still a building society
