Excellent customer service and decent website but low interest rates. Lack of monthly interest accounts. App is not really good and won't work on my phone even though it has the up to date software. Did ask about it but got nowhere. Also website not designed for smartphone and have to use it in desktop mode. Did ask but got nowhere. Reviewed on: 13th September 2024

I had an account maturing and the member of staff helped me to find another account with the best interest rate. Reviewed on: 13th September 2024

Query poor systems

I have been a member of Saffron BS since March '23 when I opened a Small Saver account. I opened a second (follow on) Small Saver account in April '24 and this account was linked to one current bank account. I made an application for a Members' Month Loyalty Saver on 6th June just after I'd changed my current account from one bank to another. As a result I inserted the new bank account details as the linked account in my application. My new Saffron account didn't open and I heard nothing. I subsequently guessed what the problem might have been and contacted Saffron and we managed to put it right. There is no evidence that Saffron made any attempt to contact me either at the time of me making the online application or me contacting them to resolve the issue. The new account was eventually opened on 21st June. My belief is that the issue of a change to linked bank account details should have been clearly flagged either during the online application process or very shortly afterwards. In any event better IT systems would have helped me open the account in a much more timely manner: as it was, my application just sat in the ether doing nothing and not attracting any attention.
