Just moved back to Scotland and tried to open an ISA savings account today only to find message on website stating not currently offered? Very disappointing, will have to go elsewhere. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022
Reply from Scottish Building Society Dear Mr Bullock I am sorry you were unable to open an ISA with us. Like a number of other Building Societies, we launched an ISA which we later withdrew due to the extremely large volume of applications. If you would like us to keep you informed of new savings accounts we have or a new ISA in the next Tax year please let me know. We appreciate your feedback and are sorry that on this occasion we could not help you. As a mutal run for the benefit of our members ,we hope we can assist you at some point in the future.
