Review of the Scottish Building Society, Savings:

Friendly and efficient

5
I have never had any type of account with you. I decided to open one as you are situated in the town centre and easy to get to. Shannon was helpful and explained everything to me, it was also lovely to see Natalie again whom I know in another Society. Always polite and helpful. Reviewed on: 4th September 2024

Reliable, solid, competitive

Patient, understanding and helpful. Could try to use only electronic verification for new customers initially as most competitors do, it makes it less onerous to try and become members/customers as there are less hoops to jump through. Reviewed on: 4th December 2024

Kath in Galashiels dealt with my issue after being told by Inverness I could close a 30 day notice account online and aslo calling Friday to ensure this transaction had been processed as received letter stating notice not required. Despite assurances, this was still not done. Not impressed. Reviewed on: 2nd December 2024

The staff are very knowledgeable about the products. Nothing is too much for them, they go the extra mile. They are extremely polite in an easy going way. The front office lacks privacy but you are offered access to a private office if needed. Reviewed on: 1st December 2024
