Scottish Building Society Savings reviews (3449)

Rfficient, friendly, personal

I dealt with your Galashiels office and they deal with matters quickly and efficiently. I really like having a passbook (rare nowadays) and that one has the option of partial, not internet only, again rare nowadays. Reviewed on: 6th March 2024

Obscure but friendly

Staff are always helpful. Restricted opening hours and lunchtime closing is far from ideal. Reviewed on: 4th March 2024

Friendly, helpful, secure

Friendly treatment at branch (Galashiels) and over th ephone. Reasonable returns. Response times could be a little faster - a minor issue. Reviewed on: 4th March 2024

Fair, friendly and handy

Edinburgh city centre location is convenient. One form for change of address would seem adequate rather than one for each account holder. Reviewed on: 1st March 2024

Caring, excellent, helpful

I was in crisis, all staff gave excellent service. I would say they went above and beyond expectation many many times, thanks. Reviewed on: 1st March 2024

Friendly, helpful, committed

The staff seem friendly and efficient. Reviewed on: 1st March 2024

Hassle free efficiency

Local branch, face-to-face customer service and very pelasant staff. Reviewed on: 1st March 2024

Loraine, Neha and Khizra

Khizra was extremely professional, helpful and attended to my request immediately. Well done. Excellent representation of the Society. Reviewed on: 28th February 2024

Local, easy access

I have always found SBS good to deal with but was disappointed with the last transaction when a mistake was made with my transfer of funds. This was corrected by a phone call from me, but no compensation given. Reviewed on: 27th February 2024

Friendly, accessible, straightforward

I like that there is a branch in town, they are friendly and the staff are helpful. There is no pressure to open online accounts either. It does close at 3pm though so it's difficult if working. Reviewed on: 27th February 2024
