I appreciate the personal touch, seeing a human being. As a regular customer at Troon branch, It is nice to be recognised. They are always so efficient. I can't praise them highly enough. Reviewed on: 20th April 2020

1. Loss of local office is very inconvenient. 2. Maturity transfer is unneccessarily complex. 3. Maturity notice gives no idea of amount saved. Reviewed on: 14th April 2020

The way the Society could do better is to open a branch in Kirkcaldy. I have to bank by post or get information by phone as I live so far away. However, customer service is very good. Reviewed on: 31st March 2020
