Reliable, approachable, competitive

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

It is very helpful to be able to speak to a member of staff for information about your savings accounts by telephone, which is answered promptly and clearly explained in a pleasant manner. Also I prefer your option of opening accounts by post rather than just by internet banking to be available to suit a range of customers' requirements. Reviewed on: 4th September 2024

Login page only shows 'user ID', doesn't show where answer should be, press return and puts you back to 'user ID', should go straight to password, you have to scroll down, why? Once logged in, it would be good to see my total investment with SBS. Reviewed on: 3rd September 2024

To date, OK
