Reviews for Scottish Building Society have trended negatively over the past 90 days

Scottish Building Society shines with its friendly, helpful staff and clear, personal service that makes banking feel human. People love the face-to-face access and find the mortgage and ISA processes straightforward when supported by staff. However, many find the interest rates on savings and ISAs a bit low and wish for better online services, including apps and easier transfers. Branch hours and postal delays also cause some frustration.

  • Scottish Building Society staff are friendly, helpful, and make banking personal and easy.
  • People appreciate Scottish Building Society’s clear communication and helpful mortgage service.
  • Opening ISAs and savings accounts with Scottish Building Society is straightforward with friendly help.

Negative themes

  • Interest rates on savings and ISAs are often seen as too low compared to competitors.
  • Online services and digital processes are outdated and frustrating for many users.
  • Branch opening hours and postal delays cause inconvenience and frustration for some customers.
