Scottish Building Society Savings reviews (2249)

Efficient, helpful, friendly

5
Friendly, approachable - helpful for elderly customers, and efficient. Reviewed on: 7th February 2025

Personal, friendly, Scottish

5
Main reasons for investing with the Society is that it is Scottish and the interest rates for our type of investments are reasonably good. Only drawback is the locality of branches in relation to where we live and because of holding two accounts in our name we are unable to transact online. Reviewed on: 6th February 2025

In branch service review

5
Promptly seen to - rolling over a bond account. My only complaint is doing away with the bankbooks - because I have several accounts and have to do a tax return (and like for many from branch) I need a clear trace of my accounts for tax records - not having a book makes it difficult. Reviewed on: 6th February 2025
