Excellent customer service, particularly from Zoe

I've been a Saffron customer for around three years and I find dealing with Saffron to be pleasant and straightforward. They answer the phone far more promptly than any other company I've had reason to call. Their customer-facing employees are friendly, helpful and professional. I've called them on several occasions, most recently when I had some issues (entirely my own fault) while trying to transfer some money out of my Saffron account. I called Saffron and spoke to Zoe, who provided excellent service, above and beyond anything I've experienced from any other company, resolving my issues quickly and efficiently. If Saffron Building Society offers a product that suits your needs, I highly recommend them. Reviewed on: 5th September 2025
