Review of the Saffron Building Society, Savings:

Great regular saver rates albeit on quite small amounts

Great rates albeit on quite small amounts Reviewed on: 20th November 2024

SOPHIA compentent, capable and confident.

SOPHIA - Needed for my daughter (recently turned 18 years old) to establish an understanding of savings accounts earning interest, and establishing the confidence to start speaking to financial institutions as a young person just beginning to earn money for herself, and making it work harder for her paid efforts in life! Sophia also helped me establish the status of my own savings and assisted with the login processes for seeing statements etc online. As always, Saffron are so approachable and keep things very clear and above all else, simple - it;s the simplicity of speaking directly to someone there which makes Saffron so appealing and reliable when one needs to contact them, and setting up products and moving money around. Sophia embodies the principles of patience and understanding with customers who do not "do" finance everyday. Reviewed on: 5th February 2026

Advice and assistance received via telephone call

I had held an obsolete savings account and wanted to transfer to a fixed cash ISA. Before contacting SBS I set up an ISA but could not see how to make the transfer of the balance of my existing account to the new account. I telephoned your representative who was able to give me excellent advice and make the necessary arrangements to enable the transfer to take place. The following day I went into the SBS app and the whole process had taken place. I was extremely pleased with the help I received. The lady I spoke to is a superb representative of your organisation. Many thanks Reviewed on: 5th February 2026
