Mutuality should be supported!

I live in Bedford. Our mutual building society was subsumed into a PLC bank long ago. Saffron and Cambridge BS are the only local mutuals left in the area. I encourage everyone ectonsupirt them Reviewed on: 11th December 2024

Easy to communicate with the company.

Easy to communicate with the company. I do follow the interest rates and pick the highest. You do well for regular savers but ghave not yet been number one at the time i want to open or transfer an ISA. Reviewed on: 28th October 2024

I was unable to locate the maturity manager online

I was unable to locate the maturity manager online so ended up sending a series of messages to give my instructions. Responses were prompt, but would have preferred to be shown the options and make my choice in one login session. It would also have helped to be pointed towards the members only account. I found out about it by chance. Reviewed on: 28th October 2024

Local convenience abd good value

4
You have a branch not far from where I live (the one on Market Hill Royston), so it's easy to pop in; some of your products offer good rates for savers so are worth taking up. It's just pure laziness, why go to Timbuctu if I can shop in Royston. Reviewed on: 24th October 2024

If you could do one thing different it would be to offer bank accounts. Otherwise really happy with service. Reviewed on: 22nd October 2024

Always lovely and helpful people on the phone

Always lovely and helpful people at the end of a phone, knowledgeable about products and quick at actioning issues. Let down by poor online service provision and issues with instructions in the post. My renewal / end of term written instructions sent in the mail were not actioned for months/at all two years in a row - had to call. Should be able to deal with those online, would greatly improve customer service. Reviewed on: 22nd October 2024
