Scottish Building Society Savings reviews (3214)

Friendly, professional, personal

5
I am 77 years old and do not trust the internet (I can only access it at a local library). Therefore I absolutely have a face-to-face relationship. It is much more secure against risk, i.e. internet related fraud. My fixed rate ISA is a face-to-face product, only available to members. Reviewed on: 19th August 2024

Good helpful service

I like the selection of the accounts, the interest rates are good and they still have passbooks as most others now do not. Reviewed on: 19th August 2024

Clear, straightforward operation
