My experience with SBS has been characterised by first class service and support. I have found the staff in the Aberdeen office friendly, helpful and a great pleasure to do business with. They have all been excellent. Telephone assistance from main offie has also been good. (Possible longer opening hours?). Reviewed on: 23rd September 2024

Fair and reliable

Super friendly and helpful staff. Perhaps product rates could be more competitive?. Reviewed on: 23rd September 2024

Friendly, efficient, straightforward

We received very good service at the branch. We have a branch relatively locally (Glasgow and Troon) - we feel that the SBS caters for all ages and needs. We like the fact you are returning passbooks, both for ease of use and to avoid use of plastics. We are happy to be members of SBS. Reviewed on: 23rd September 2024

Personal touch

Helpful, friendly staff. Town centre access. Range of options to invest money. Reviewed on: 23rd September 2024

Reliable, approachable, competitive

I didn't realise you had other branches. It's confusing when you write to one and part of your request is dealt with elsewhere by a different person who does not have the full story. Reviewed on: 23rd September 2024

Just what's expected

5
All one would expect - a return to my youth for service. Reviewed on: 23rd September 2024
