Skipton Building Society Savings reviews (96)

A clunky not so ethical building society

Has some great products including low value fixed savings, and reg savers, plus the app is easy to use. One of my accounts matured, but getting the money out required logging into the desktop and setting up nominated bank account.. for each of the accounts I had; 4. Took more effort than needed, and meant I received 4 paper letters to confirm the changes. They're powered by Barclays which has terrible green credentials, ill fitting for the ethics of a building society. Reviewed on: 9th September 2024

Seamless, easy LISA

I had a Skipton LISA for a number of years, everything was easy to set up, the app was easy to use and navigate and when i came to buy a house with that money as the deposit the whole process was seamless. Reviewed on: 18th June 2024

Rewards loyalty and excellent to deal with

Skipton have rewarded loyal savers more than most banks and building societies over the past year, and have been a pleasure to deal with whenever I've needed to contact them. The product terms are often very clear and they provide excellent flexibility for savers. They are one of my favourite financial institutions andI'll remain a customer for many years to come.

Professional, helpful and decent without pressure.

Excellent advice given and time spent on investing for better savings. No intrusive or controlling behaviour just incredibly helpful, actually knowledgeable and professional from the call centre to the bank staff especially at Ilkley. Super clear communication and actively try to help you not just sign you up. It’s like having an accountant, investment advisor and expert all in one and you still don’t feel pressured. Been wonderful so far for my savings. Reviewed on: 10th April 2024

Great family society

Great value rates and always a friendly face if you need to speak to over the phone or in-branch. Efficient and quite technologically advanced for a building society, transfers usually only take a couple of hours. I also find them excellent for child savings. Just wish they had a Fairer Share like Nationwide! Reviewed on: 11th March 2024

Helpful staff, limited support hours

I like Skipton. It's a smaller building society with lovely, helpful staff and convenient branches. App and online banking are convenient, the app being functional but not perfect. Skipton sometimes offer competitive products, and their customer service is helpful. However, the limited hours that support is available is seriously limiting, as is the fact that bank transfers can only be completed Monday to Friday before 9pm. Reviewed on: 8th January 2024
