Spoke with Lisa Howard in your team. She is a breath of fresh air... great old fashioned service... a human that is helpful and efficient that cares!! Reviewed on: 21st January 2026

Excellent response to my query, helpful and empathetic.

5
Excellent response to my query, with a very helpful and empathetic handling of my issue. The whole process was completed with the absolute minimum of fuss and in a highly professional way. The Saffron culture seems to be ‘how can we make this work for you’ - which is in stark contrast to what one often finds in the commercial banking world. Reviewed on: 19th January 2026

Honest customer feedback

Hello to who it may concern I have never had an issue with any of the staff reference to asking some information . They've always called me back when they said they would and most of all I'd like to say they've obviously got patience with customers like me that doesn't really understand much about banking so they must have a high level of patience which really is great for someone like me, ha ha thank you again all the best Mr Madrid, Reviewed on: 12th January 2026

Patient, efficient and empathetic adviser

I have had a problem accessing my account and have rung six times. On each occasion I have received useful help, but because there was a problem with my memorable word I was locked out of access. On the fifth and sixth occasions I received excellent help from Lisa, who went above and beyond to ensure that my access was restored, and who was almost as excited as I was when I finally got into my account!
