informative savings review with Lyn.

I just had a very informative savings review with Lyn in Halstead. I very much appreciate that I am allowed to bring my well behaved dog into the office. Reviewed on: 27th February 2025

Amazing from start to finish!!

5
I popped into the Saffron Walden branch to discuss opening an account with Saffron Building Society and I was greeted with a lovely smile by Florrie. She took the time to ask me how I was and how my day had been which was very pleasant. Florrie then went through everything Saffron Building Society could offer. Florrie discussed all the different rates that were on offer too. Very professional from start to finish. Amazing customer service!! Thank you Florrie. Reviewed on: 27th February 2025

It's more like a coffee morning than a bank queue

5
unlike a traditional bank were you all queue up in silence it's more like a coffee morning when you go into the branch plus the staff seem genuinely happy to be there, and are both helpful and patient even with the non-tech savvy Reviewed on: 26th February 2025

Excellent customer service from knowledgeable approachable staff. Reviewed on: 26th February 2025

Offering a high level of customer service

5
I have always found the online and telephone support very good, always giving the impression of a personal and high level of customer service. Also to mention the important physical presence of Saffron on the High Street. As a customer, these are very important strengths. Please maintain this approach, it keeps the experience positive, is a valuable selling-point for the business and is something sorely lacking with some (too many,) companies and institutions. Reviewed on: 26th February 2025

Excellent service from Harvey.

Excellent service from Harvey. We would appreciate notification from saffron of maturing products to avoid being transferred to lower interest bearing accounts! Reviewed on: 26th February 2025
