Account opening

It was very nice to actually speak to people who are sensible and go the extra mile to accommodate our needs rather than a computer, who says "no"!. Reviewed on: 16th October 2025

The service Lewis Hemingway provided was very good and enabled me to do my business in a quick and efficient manner. As shared the only reason I am moving my daughters monies from Saffron BS is better rates elsewhere Reviewed on: 16th October 2025

Community account change

5
After receiving notice from a bank about charges to our community account, we searched around, until someone recommended Saffron. They had a business manager interested and helpful, in taking on our account (the bank has a phone centre in the north of the country, not interested in community accounts) He has been most helpful in guiding us through the change, and also in the old tradition (Plough Monday) we are maintaining. I understand while bigger institutions have less interest in smaller community accounts, the Saffron are looking to fill this gap Reviewed on: 15th October 2025
