Staff are welcoming, engaging and supporting, but it would be better if from the start it was confirmed that all intention would be postal. Reviewed on: 16th March 2022

Accessible, friendly, Scottish

I like the accessibility, branches in Scotland, direct access to the branch via telephone, staff knowing me, friendliness and helpfulness. Could be better higher interest rates. Reviewed on: 26th September 2024

My experience with SBS has been characterised by first class service and support. I have found the staff in the Aberdeen office friendly, helpful and a great pleasure to do business with. They have all been excellent. Telephone assistance from main offie has also been good. (Possible longer opening hours?). Reviewed on: 23rd September 2024

Fair and reliable

Friendly, efficient, straightforward

We received very good service at the branch. We have a branch relatively locally (Glasgow and Troon) - we feel that the SBS caters for all ages and needs. We like the fact you are returning passbooks, both for ease of use and to avoid use of plastics. We are happy to be members of SBS. Reviewed on: 23rd September 2024
