Excellent support from Zoe Collins

Saffron Building Society are offering a two-year Bond with a good interest rate. We had many queries about how to set up such a Bond and how our funds should populate it online. We telephoned the building society and our call was answered by Zoe Collins. Zoe was an excellent member of staff - being very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, competent and professional. We couldn't have asked for more from one of Saffron's advisers. Reviewed on: 3rd March 2026
