Friendly, helpful staff. Only grip I have is when a branch has a planned closure it goes on their website or in the branch - I don't want to have to check online that they are open before heading out. Reviewed on: 4th February 2026

Moving account after drop in interest rate. Delay in contact me on day of maturity so delay in receiving money. Then request copy of my bank statement to verify account when Scottish Building Society have paid interest to this account previously. Tried to phone to discuss need for statement to find they are not open on Wednesdays !! In 2026 Scottish Building Society needs to improve it's communication and efficiency to members.

I opened a Regular Saver Account recently at the Queen Street Branch and received good advice about what was best for my circumstances by Loraine Kane who is the Member Relationship Assistant and a valuable asset to her customers and Scottish Building Society. I have been a customer for years and I think anyone wishing saving advice should go to 78 Queen Street. Reviewed on: 30th January 2026

Excellent customer service.

I locked myself out of the online banking system and Shirley ans especially Shannan helped me get back on track. Shannan has a lovely way with her and she was very patient and helpful while talking me through the process. Reviewed on: 27th January 2026
