Review of the Scottish Building Society, Savings:

Reliable, approachable, competitive

4
I didn't realise you had other branches. It's confusing when you write to one and part of your request is dealt with elsewhere by a different person who does not have the full story. Reviewed on: 23rd September 2024

Responsive, helpful, friendly

5
I like being able to speak to helpful, real people. Competitive rates too. Reviewed on: 17th September 2024

First class service

5
Staff always friendly and attentive. Reviewed on: 11th September 2024

Dependable and conservative

New passbook did not specify the duration or interest rate of my new 2-year fixed rate ISA. This is a backwards step from previous practice. Reviewed on: 11th September 2024

Easy, efficient, quick

5
Already a customer but decided to apply by post rather than in branch. Forms easily downloaded and a quick phone call answered the one question I had. Reviewed on: 11th September 2024

In branch service review

Still mutual. Still offering good rates, personal service and most of all still providing passbooks!. Reviewed on: 11th September 2024

Listens, helpful, thorough

Shirley has gone above and beyond to help me with my account issues. She kept me up-to-date with all the things that she was doing to help me, and it was not too much trouble (although it was a lot of work/information required). Reviewed on: 9th September 2024

Friendly, efficient and knowledgeable

5
Friendly, efficient staff who are well versed with products but not pushy sales people. Keep it up! Opening times only accessible because I work part-time but anyone wanting face-to-face would struggle to get to office. Reviewed on: 9th September 2024

Welcoming, friendly, efficient

5
It's local with a branch nearby. Reviewed on: 9th September 2024

Cannot fault it

5
