Friendly, helpful staff. Everything dealt with in a professional, though caring way. Always someone available to speak and not always directed to internet. Reviewed on: 16th July 2020

I like passbooks. I like cash / cheque transactions. I like the friendly personal over-the-counter service from the Galashiels staff - they know what I like and what I don't like! Reviewed on: 13th July 2020

The Society is well organised, publicity material is clear and concise, and while 'traditional' in the best sense, is also forward looking, including technology Reviewed on: 7th July 2020
