I've had ISAs with ScottishBS for several years. I've always found their staff friendly and helpful, their communication by post and email is outstanding, and I like saving with a traditional building society. Their interest rates are usually pretty good as well. Reviewed on: 27th April 2020

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

1) Friendly phone / postal contact. 2) Quick service by post BUT interest rates compare poorly with other organisations - otherwise I would invest far more Reviewed on: 14th April 2020
