Review of the Saffron Building Society, Savings:

Great regular saver rates albeit on quite small amounts

4
Great rates albeit on quite small amounts Reviewed on: 20th November 2024

Helpful Phone Call

4
Good experience on phone call to transfer savings account. Really easy to sort out, however I was told it would be sorted by Monday and I haven't received an update yet as of Friday. If something was sent in the post it would have been great to get a head up. But overall a good experience. Reviewed on: 10th January 2025

Job done

Achieved my objective - the staff member was friendly (without being overly familiar), friendly, patient, so it got done quickly and comfortably (i.e. at my pace). Past experience of phoning-in meant I was confident that it would go well and it did! Reviewed on: 4th January 2025

Very good service staff very helpful and friendly

Saffron’s customer service is excellent but the webs...

4
Saffron’s customer service is excellent but the website & systems are not. After many years I’m afraid I’ve got fed up with battling the antiquated website which hasn’t moved on with the times and am closing my accounts. Reviewed on: 18th December 2024
