Service normally good, my understanding is that a new branch will open in central Edinburgh and that will suit me better. Reviewed on: 11th April 2023

Interest Rates

4
SBS need to keep an eye on Interest rates. Sometimes they are far from being competitive. Many people like me need to make our pension money work hard. Therefore any excess money has to chase Interest rates. Otherwise your standard of living goes down. Service does come into it but with inflation as high as it is you have to chase Interest rates. Sorry. Reviewed on: 5th April 2023

I have been very impressed with SBS since starting to invest in several of the products. Easy access and excellent customer service particularly at my Aberdeen Relationship Centre

5
The products are straightforward, easy to manage with friendly service has meant I have maximised my investment with SBS. There is a clear difference between SBS and other financial organisations in that it is very accessible, personal and appears well managed and efficient. Reviewed on: 5th April 2023
