Efficient and Helpful

5
I have always found Saffron Building Society fast and efficient in dealing with me. I have opened online accounts which I always find difficult and they have helped me a lot. Reviewed on: 16th February 2026

Thank you Lyn and Saffron

5
Had a great experience with Lyn from the Halstead branch, who was efficient and courteous. She helped me solve my issue quickly, and checked I had everything I needed going forward. It's really heartening to be able to talk to a polite and capable human rather than an AI chatbot - people like Lyn make it feel worth it to bank with Saffron. Reviewed on: 16th February 2026

Being a productive genuine part of the community

5
I have banked with them for over 30 years - they know my name and my face and are very people-focused - they also walk the walk when it comes to community - no performative community here only the genuine thing! Reviewed on: 16th February 2026

Reassured me

5
I was concerned my mobile may have been hacked and my banking apps were on my mobile. I spoke with Jodie who put extra security measures in place and my mind is reassured. Thank you. Reviewed on: 16th February 2026

Excellent customer service.

5
Saffron staff are always helpful , knowledgeable ,polite and friendly . And of course , unlike some businesses, it is easy to speak to a human !! Which is great positive as I dislike having to try and get an answer from a robot . Reviewed on: 16th February 2026

The staff are lovely

5
The staff are always lovely in their interactions (telephone and online messaging). The products vary but they do have some good savings rates for members. The app is clean and works but you do have to wait until office hours for internal transfer to work. Reviewed on: 16th February 2026
