Scottish Building Society Savings reviews (3686)

On top form

For me it was great, I could do my ISA over the phone or post just as easy (as we all can't use mobiles/laptops), I'm over 80 now so I can't do saving online. The lady I spoke to twice was clear to understand and explained it easy, so I found the experience just great. Reviewed on: 18th November 2024

Very professional organisation

All staff friendly and will go that little bit extra to help. The staff in Troon are 100% and Lorraine in the Glasgow branch is extremely helpful and courteous. More member activities would be good. Reviewed on: 15th November 2024

Kind, efficient, friendly

Always so helpful in branch - I like to have face-to-face contact and am not so keen on online. Reviewed on: 13th November 2024

In branch service review

I only dealt with the Society online. I feel the online presence could be better designed - it certainly did not appeal to the eye, a little bit clunky to use. Reviewed on: 13th November 2024

Easy to use

As I am hearing impaired it is important to me that I can speak face-to-face as a client. Also that we are the customers and not shareholders. Reviewed on: 12th November 2024

Scottish, helpful, efficient

Experience with SBS is totally positive. Minor irritation is that you call branches "relationship centres". Reviewed on: 12th November 2024

Efficient, excellent, friendly

Branch manager was very efficient. Friendly and most pleasant. Opening our account was very easy. We are existing customers and do not want internet access, we especially like the face-to-face meetings within a branch and the personal service. Reviewed on: 12th November 2024

Helpful and knowledgeable

It is lovely to speak to a real person who is very helpful and gives advice, and seems to have all the time needed to help. Reviewed on: 11th November 2024

Excellent financial institution

Always very efficient and a pleasure to deal with the Society. Reviewed on: 11th November 2024

Reasonable, prompt, nice

Sorry we don't have a branch nearer - 50 miles is a long was for older customers to visit. Also I would like a statement of assets sent often and whether ta had been paid on accounts, also interest made clearer. Reviewed on: 11th November 2024
