A good place to be!

I've always been offered good interest rates on easy to manage savings accounts. Only twice in many years have I spoken to someone on the telephone and both times my query was dealt with efficiently and in a helpful and considerate manner. I will happily continue to save with the Saffron for as long as I have money to save. Reviewed on: 3rd February 2026

This morning I contacted SBS to sort out getting a 1 year Fixed rate loyalty bond, as Florrie Gray had emailed me the other day regarding my accounts. I explained to Zoe Collins my situation and she was most helpful in dealing with the matter, including a second t/c I made to update what I had originally informed Zoe I wanted to deposit as an addition . I have received ideal help from both Zoe and Florrie, and for that i am most grateful. They are excellent and helpful communicators. 10 out of 10. Really good eggs all round!
