Review of the Scottish Building Society, Savings:

Slow and Antiquated

Opened an online savings account and tried to deposit from my nominated account. Sent funds on Friday and by Monday afternoon there was no sign of them arriving at SBS. Spoke to someone who said I should not expect the funds to be in the account before Tuesday. How slow is this. I have asked for the account to be closed, hoping that they will not send the funds back by pony express with used notes jn an envelope carried by a little man, but with the antiquated systems and procedures it would not surprise me Reviewed on: 30th January 2023

Professional, competent, helpful

I am not a Scottish nationalist, however it is good to be a member of a Scottish Building Society which contributes to the Scottish economy. Good rates of interest. Local branches. Pleasant staff. Reviewed on: 4th November 2024

Efficient, courteous, obliging

My experience is only ever via telephone as I live in Surrey! However, my calls are always dealt with in a courteous, efficient manner which I much appreciate. I've saved with SBS for many years now and will hope to continue to do so. It's wonderful to be able to speak with a human being and not a robot. Reviewed on: 4th November 2024

Professional, welcoming, patience

Able to discuss my problems with empathy and understanding from the staff. Very friendly and helpful in sorting best mean of dealing with the issue in a non-judgemental way. Reviewed on: 4th November 2024

DATED AND OUT OF TOUCH

It's nearly 2025 and no app for saving accounts. Dated. Way behind other savings accounts in similar companies. Reviewed on: 3rd November 2024
