Scottish Building Society Savings reviews (3686)

Star rating service

Great, friendly, reliable service. Staff are a credit to business. Don't change. Reviewed on: 10th February 2025

Just the best

Very competitive interest savings rates. Friendliness, helpfulness and excellent service from the staff at the Galashiels branch. Reviewed on: 10th February 2025

Knowledgeable, efficient, friendly

Very much like that I can deal with someone face-to-face, in-branch, rather than online (which can be so problematic). Setting up the ISA was a pleasant experience, going through the issues with someone knowledgeable and helpful. Reviewed on: 10th February 2025

Very good

It's good that SBS has branches that customers can go into branch and discuss things at street level instead of doing it online. Reviewed on: 10th February 2025

Positive, helpful, informative

Clear and helpful advice and options.Clarifies what to consider and the requirement to get unbiased advice. I now know that will require to list all the alternatives. Overall helpful. Reviewed on: 10th February 2025

Excellent customer service

I have been dealing with the SBS for the last few months to close my mum's account and it set-up and transfer an ISA for my son and to set-up my own savings account. The staff have been fantastic, very clear and helpful. Really made a difference to how I was able to manage everything. Reviewed on: 10th February 2025

Clear fair value

Products clear and good values. Wish I could use login details of recently closed account to transfer money into the new account - fixed rate maturity - online savings. Reviewed on: 10th February 2025

Efficient, helpful, friendly

Friendly, approachable - helpful for elderly customers, and efficient. Reviewed on: 7th February 2025

Personal, friendly, Scottish

Main reasons for investing with the Society is that it is Scottish and the interest rates for our type of investments are reasonably good. Only drawback is the locality of branches in relation to where we live and because of holding two accounts in our name we are unable to transact online. Reviewed on: 6th February 2025

In branch service review

Promptly seen to - rolling over a bond account. My only complaint is doing away with the bankbooks - because I have several accounts and have to do a tax return (and like for many from branch) I need a clear trace of my accounts for tax records - not having a book makes it difficult.
