Inverness branch review

1
The practice of opening a new account is very old fashioned - it is so easy to open one on the internet these days. Having to provide documentary evidence is also outdated, as is having a passbook. We have a lot of fixed term investments and no-one operates like that these days. Reviewed on: 24th July 2020

Galashiels branch review

I'm not prepared to carry out any form of online banking for security reasons. I am therefore relieved and happy to have access to a branch which provides face to face transactions Reviewed on: 23rd July 2020
