Friendly but professional staff. Very helpful. Better interest rate - but that's a sign of the times at the moment :( Reviewed on: 17th August 2021

Aberdeen branch review

Cashier (Sam) was very friendly and gave first class service. Can't fault anything. Reviewed on: 9th August 2021

Galashiels branch review

Personal counter service is excellent - it's important to know your customers. Very important to retain passbooks! Reviewed on: 9th August 2021

Will never give them my custom again.

I've been a loyal customer of Scottish Building Society for over three decades using their Keith Agency at Stephen & Robb, Solicitors. Imagine my shock when I recently visited to complete a transaction to be told SBS had ceased using them as an Agency, also the Huntly agency at Peterkins, Solicitors. No letter received informing me of this. Apparently the majority of customers had received no notification either and had subsequently closed their accounts. Rang SBS and spoke to someone at a branch in central Scotland. Only customers who had made transactions on their accounts in the last two years had been notified! I could continue my accounts online. No thank you! I had invested money in long term products so had no need to be visiting the Agency regularly. Wrote a letter to nearest branch. Inverness closing all my accounts and informing them how I felt. Accounts closed, passbooks returned. No acknowledgment of my letter/explanation for their actions. I now hear they've opened a large new branch in Aberdeen. What about all the faithful customers who are not online or those who do not wish to bank online, understandable in this era of scams. I appreciate SBS are moving with the times but how difficult would it have been to send all their Agency customers a letter explaining what was happening? Disgraceful treatment of loyal customers.

Troon branch review

Great service at the Troon branch, before, during and after lockdown Reviewed on: 27th July 2021

Savings review

Helpful and efficient service of the SBS staff experience at Edinburgh and Galshiels, and also when phoning. The loyalty scheme for savers recognising their support for SB. Probably a non- starter but gibven the continued branch closures by other banks and BS , perhaps and opportunity for SBS to fill the void and icrease its Scottish profile and presence Reviewed on: 26th July 2021
