Kath in Galashiels dealt with my issue after being told by Inverness I could close a 30 day notice account online and aslo calling Friday to ensure this transaction had been processed as received letter stating notice not required. Despite assurances, this was still not done. Not impressed. Reviewed on: 2nd December 2024

The staff are very knowledgeable about the products. Nothing is too much for them, they go the extra mile. They are extremely polite in an easy going way. The front office lacks privacy but you are offered access to a private office if needed. Reviewed on: 1st December 2024

Local, always nice and helpful staf, open every weekday, it's Scottish, and a building society. 9-3 and not open on a Saturday morning makes it difficult for working people to access the branches, a staggered lunch perhaps?. Reviewed on: 28th November 2024

Very helpful
