Human and helpful customer service

What I appreciate about the Saffron Building Society is that you can call a number and speak to a helpful and pleasant human being who can solve your problems. I have contacted the Building Society three times over the past two days with different requests, and the same wonderful lady, Lisa Howard has been able to help me with each different request, including help with my E banking account. Thank you again Lisa, and thank Saffron Reviewed on: 27th January 2026

Excellent response to my query, helpful and empathetic.

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
