Only deal online

I enjoy dealing with the Scottish. Nice, personal service. Good member rates available, online services improving although still very reliant on post in some instances. I enjoy dealing with a building society. Reviewed on: 30th January 2025

Traditional good service

5
Communication with known member of staff both in person and by phone has been extremely important - and hugesly appreciated as I negotiate the ups and downs of managing paperwork on behalf of my mother. I feel very confident that SBS have and continue to act as a trustworthy, reliable, secure company for my mother's best interests. Reviewed on: 29th January 2025

In branch service review

I preferred the office before the staff were all hidden away through the back. Reviewed on: 29th January 2025

Friendly, efficient, competitive

The quality of service at your Glasgow branch is very good. I was disappointed that you did not maintain a superior interest rates with your loyalty cash ISA. This is not uncommon amongst building societies to do this. The interest rate in the fixed rate ISA bond 64 is very good and is more that comparable with other building societies. Reviewed on: 28th January 2025

Accessibility, friendly, helpful

I like that there are branches which are accessible; that you can call branch direct; the staff know me; it is a Scottish Building Society. Maybe a bit more interest on savings though I understand costs also. Reviewed on: 27th January 2025

Very good

Easy to talk to, always good advice. Reviewed on: 27th January 2025

Friendly and respectful, and I rate the range of products. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2025

Low profile, needs to advertise itself!
