Never had any issues with Saffron Building Society, always able to get through to someone who can answer query or assist. I have accounts across various other institutions and they could all do with taking a leaf out of Saffrons' book Reviewed on: 5th September 2024

Unsatisfactory

1
For the first 5 years my mortgage was fixed at a competitive rate , it has now shot up dramatically. I’m looking for a new mortgage provider right now and will pay this off as soon as I’ve signed the new mortgage . If Saffron cared about their clients they should have contacted me to possibly offer me a market related interest rate on my current mortgage and kept me on as a customer. The only contact I’ve had is this email asking me to rate their services! Reviewed on: 4th September 2024
