Review of the Scottish Building Society, Savings:

Great service and consistently good interest rates

5
Been a member of the Scottish for many years, had mortgages and savings with them. Other lenders didn't want me as I am self employed. Interest rates competitive and without teaser rates which quickly disappear. Reviewed on: 11th April 2021

Professional, courteous, knowledgeable

5
Another highly professional and extremely helpful conversation regarding my reinvestment of a maturing ISA. Staff first class, treated as a valued customer. Reviewed on: 21st March 2025

Queue free, helpful, friendly

5
No queues. 30 minute queue at RBS but no waiting in SBS. Reviewed on: 21st March 2025

Friendly honest value

5
As always, good advice given and friendly, helpful service. I really appreciate a face-to-face facility. Nothing ever seems to be too much trouble for staff in this branch. Only improvement would be to have an office closer, we have to travel 90 mins to reach one. Reviewed on: 19th March 2025

Friendly, efficient, fast

5
Telephone answered quickly and staff were knowledgeable and helpful, and all forms were sent by email that same day. Reviewed on: 19th March 2025

Awesome and friendly

5
The girls are so nice and friendly, always make you feel comfortable. Makes it so easy face-to-face and be able to speak with someone. Please don't change. Reviewed on: 19th March 2025

In branch service review

Like - in-branch privacy, tables and seating available, proper view of paperwork, local branch convenience. Not liked: internet banking for savings accounts. Reviewed on: 18th March 2025

Helpful, tidy, efficient

I appreciated the ability to open a cash ISA by post. Reviewed on: 18th March 2025
