Usually I would use the Ware Saffron but it is closed for refurbishment. I visited Royston branch last weekend to transfer a matured ISA. It was such a nice experience. The two cashiers were charming, one customer was even greeted by their name. The chap who helped me transfer my ISA to a new account was really nice and helpful, he filled in everything for me and I just had to sign the form. I appreciated that ever so much as I am not very confident with these things. I will definitely be visiting that branch over the one in Ware. This morning I had a query and I phoned your helpline and spoke to Freddie. Again, super helpful and polite. Saffron you have a great team of people. Reviewed on: 21st September 2024

Saffron Walden's online chat is superb. Even when I accidentally disconnected the chat, when I reconnected, the new agent put me back in touch with the original one. They took so much time and care to help me. Reviewed on: 20th September 2024
