Have your say
As a mutual organisation, Scottish Building Society is owned by and run for the benefit of our members.
Following feedback from our members, we’re launching a Members Panel to help us understand what’s important to them. We want to continue doing what we do well, and also improve our products and services where needed.
By volunteering to become a part of our panel, members have an opportunity to share their views on a range of topics relevant to them and Scottish Building Society, as well as hear from our Senior Leadership Team.
Members Panel Terms and Conditions
These terms and conditions (“terms”) apply to all members who agree to join the Scottish Building Society Members Panel (“Members Panel”).
By agreeing to joining the Members Panel you agree to be bound by these terms. We may update these terms from time to time, and where we do the updated terms will apply to everyone on the Members Panel.
We will advise you of any changes to our terms via your preferred communication channel. You should also read our Privacy Notice before you decide to join our Members Panel, which you can find on our website here.
The Members Panel aims to seek our members' views on how the Society can improve and develop the products and services that we offer. We will seek panel members' views on wants, needs and challenges via face-to-face meetings held in our Relationship Centres and in surveys sent out to you via email and/or post.
We will write or email you with details of forthcoming sessions and an invitation to participate in good time ahead of each engagement. Please note we cannot guarantee your participation and you are not obliged to participate.
By agreeing to join the panel you agree that Scottish Building Society can use the results of research, including your ideas, to help develop and improve our products, services and communications. Any information you provide about yourself will be used for research purposes only and not for sales or marketing.
To qualify for the Members Panel, you must:
- be a current Scottish Building Society savings or mortgage member aged 18 or over.
