Gabbie was great / do expats get a good deal?

5
Gabbie was a pleasure and easy to deal with. Being an expat (even though I was born and lived in the UK for 27 years) then I'm not sure we get much of a range of products and if they are very competitive rates Reviewed on: 30th January 2025

I rang to amend the bank details for our Direct Debit on our monthly mortgage payment. The lady was very helpful and we made the changes with no problems. Very fast service and wasn’t on hold for long which is always a bonus! Reviewed on: 29th January 2025

Wonderful, efficient service

5
It was wonderful to speak to a human being who was not only extremely pleasant, but highly efficient. It is a great improvement on the service I receive from my High Street Bank Reviewed on: 29th January 2025

Knowledgeable and professional..

5
Kim from Retentions receives 5 stars. She was very knowledgeable and professional over the phone. It was a pleasure to deal with her. Saffron, however, scored a "neutral" score for "value for money". It is great that they have products for overseas residents, but it is a shame their rates are not competitive when compared to their domestic market products. Reviewed on: 28th January 2025

Exactly optional customer service from Lisa.

5
Exactly optional customer service from Lisa. Where there is an opportunity to improve is to make your retention rates more competitive vs other lenders. If you could put in place a small fee to offset the rate change this may be a better approach. Reviewed on: 28th January 2025
