Great

For me it was great, I could do my ISA over the phone or post just as easy (as we all can't use mobiles/laptops), I'm over 80 now so I can't do saving online. The lady I spoke to twice was clear to understand and explained it easy, so I found the experience just great. Reviewed on: 18th November 2024

Very professional organisation

5
All staff friendly and will go that little bit extra to help. The staff in Troon are 100% and Lorraine in the Glasgow branch is extremely helpful and courteous. More member activities would be good. Reviewed on: 15th November 2024

Kind, efficient, friendly

Easy to use

As I am hearing impaired it is important to me that I can speak face-to-face as a client. Also that we are the customers and not shareholders. Reviewed on: 12th November 2024

Scottish, helpful, efficient

Experience with SBS is totally positive. Minor irritation is that you call branches "relationship centres". Reviewed on: 12th November 2024
