We have been members for several years now, and due to our recent change in life we had money to invest in ISA' and savings account. As always the staff in the Galashiels Branch we dealt with on this occasion - Kathleen, Lorraine and Jin were all fantastic at getting them up and running. Cannot fault the SBS.
