Scottish Building Society Branch Review

5
I walked past the Aberdeen Branch not knowing it had returned - lovely office, excellent member of staff & friendly, efficient and no pressure to go digital!! Reviewed on: 25th July 2022

Friendly, professional, personal

5
I am 77 years old and do not trust the internet (I can only access it at a local library). Therefore I absolutely have a face-to-face relationship. It is much more secure against risk, i.e. internet related fraud. My fixed rate ISA is a face-to-face product, only available to members. Reviewed on: 19th August 2024

Good helpful service

5
I like the selection of the accounts, the interest rates are good and they still have passbooks as most others now do not. Reviewed on: 19th August 2024

Clear, straightforward operation

5
Everything was quite straightforward. The agents I spoke to on the phone were easy to understand and responded with clear information and made me feel confident and reassured. Reviewed on: 16th August 2024

Spoke with staff in Inverness who as always was extremely pleasant and efficient to deal with. More consideration needed for non-computerised customers. Reviewed on: 12th August 2024

Friendly, informative, helpful

5
I was transferring money from another bank. The member of staff gave me good, clear advice and discussed my options with me. I could then get the account that was most suitable for my needs. Reviewed on: 12th August 2024
