After visiting the SBS office in Glasgow City Centre (where I received very good service in moving money from my saving bonds to a Cash ISA) I called your telephone service and spoke with June. I explained that I wished to add some additional cash to the ISA but was a bit reluctant to do this online(I've made little mistakes when using this method). June was very understanding and helpful (I have poor hearing) and guided me through the process on two different occasions. It is very refreshing to speak with people who really want to help you and take their time to speak slowly and clearly. Everyone else I have spoken with either face to face or on the telephone are equally helpful. Well done to SBS for their people friendly culture. Reviewed on: 7th August 2025

Pro-active

Pro-active, ie the Society contacted us as we were late in responding to a savings maturing and they needed our instructions. Full marks. Reviewed on: 7th August 2025

Isa query

5
I phoned their relationship centre and they were able to help with Isa rules and how to transfer an existing Isa to Scottish Building Society. They are posting a form to me and they will do the rest. Reviewed on: 7th August 2025

Unexpected account statement .

5
I received a statement for an account I had completely forgotten and phoned to query the authenticity of the account. I was very delighted and surprised to learn of the sum of money it contained. My call was answered very quickly and it is great to talk to a human being when most other businesses use chatbox etc. I was also advised of my options for savings. Thanks so much.
