Review of the Scottish Building Society, Savings:

Scottish Building Society Branch Review

The 1-1 contact with helpful and friendly staff at all times. Reviewed on: 7th March 2022

Straightforward, trustworthy, helpful

Personal service. Helpful staff. Ability to use paper forms as well as online access. I love that you can speak to a real human easily. Reviewed on: 25th July 2024

Behind the times

Money transfers are slow to appear. Online service is dated - applying to add accounts, really? Desperately needs an app!. Reviewed on: 25th July 2024

In branch service review

After a difficult and lengthy ISA transfer with many hiccups, the branch manager in Glasgow was extremely helpful in resolving this. Reviewed on: 25th July 2024

Friendly, efficient, traditional

I like having a local branch in Glasgow, Queen Street staff are friendly, courteous and efficient. The Scottish Building Society has a traditional feel and the customer feels valued. It's a mutual society, not a bank. Very low profile though, publicity could be improved to attract new members. Reviewed on: 25th July 2024

Traditional, personal service

On our visit to the Glasgow Queen Street branch today we met with a really helpful employee and all went well. Personally, I like the fact that the Society is relatively small and one does not deal with staff in faraway places. Reviewed on: 25th July 2024

First class service

Excellent. So helpful and kind. Alleviated our fears and concerns. Excellent customer service. Reviewed on: 25th July 2024

Efficient, friendly, good savings rates

Commitment to mutual status, no pressure to be online, loyalty products, independent (i.e. not part of larger group with different/conflicting interests). Reviewed on: 25th July 2024

Good customer service

Friendly and helpful staff. Selection of products with clear and straightforward information. Reviewed on: 25th July 2024

Traditional, courteous service. Informative and patient explanation of options. Reviewed on: 25th July 2024

All my queries were comprehensively dealt with in an efficient, reassuring and friendly way and I wondered if I was asking crucially relevant questions about what I really needed to know without being at all sure what to ask in the first place. Reviewed on: 23rd July 2024
