Been a member of the Scottish for many years. Great service and consistently good interest rates without introductory teasers and they're still a mutual. Reviewed on: 11th April 2021

Very disappointed to be told yesterday that this Building Society won't let me open an account as I don't live in Scotland ! Words fail me... I have been with the Bank of Scotland for many years... Reviewed on: 11th March 2021

Just Excellent!

No shareholders and therefore better interest rates than the big banks. Brilliant customer service - by telephone I can speak to a friendly helpful actual person based in Scotland right away without having to go through umpteen "menus" and press lots of telephone keys. Visiting my local branch has always been a pleasant experience too. Reviewed on: 3rd March 2021
