The ONLY thing that is annoying is the answer machine system. When you call a million times, like I have had to, it gets intensely irritating. But apart from that , I am WELL impressed with EVEYRONE I have dealt with at Saffron. Reviewed on: 20th April 2022

The mortage interest rate was a lot better than I thought it would be, so I didn't switch to another bank / building society. Really helpful and friendly staff, never took too long to get through on the phone so that was good too! Reviewed on: 31st March 2022
