Review of the Scottish Building Society, Savings:

Efficiently old-fashioned!

Very easy to arrange appointment.. Everything was ready and prepared in advance for me to sign. Very efficient meeting. Only negative was some delay in liaison between the call centre and branch; had to be phoned back which could have been inconvenient. Reviewed on: 8th October 2024

Excellent customer service

Competitive interest rates. Good customer service. Excellent. Reviewed on: 25th February 2025

Personal service given

Face-to-face assisting with SBS employee. I was not told to just look online to find out about ISA accounts. Reviewed on: 25th February 2025

Accessible, friendly, helpful

I like fact members get better rates. I like fact it is a Scottish building society, I like fact there are branches to be able to go into. I like fact I can speak with staff at my branch and they know me, I like the fact the staff are all so very helpful, I like the fact the staff stick to my instructions. Could do with a little more interest - keep pace with inflation. Reviewed on: 25th February 2025

Helpful, professional, friendly

Always same person on the desk out front. Friendly, helpful, professional, clear instructions and keep Shirley in the Inverness branch. Reviewed on: 25th February 2025

In branch service review

Wish there was still a local branch. I'm always nervous using the postal service and worry that things will go missing. Otherwise I am really pleased with the service and very happy. Reviewed on: 24th February 2025

Poor attention to detail

18/01/23 Glasgow Branch - given sheet SBSS44.2FRISA19122 for 2YR FRISA Issue 4. Subsequent correspondence state issue 6. Passcard states account number but online and letters state it without hyphens. 20/02/25 - online check of my new cash ISA showed 3.55%, general online account cash ISA showed 3.30%, why?. Reviewed on: 24th February 2025
