Polite and helpful

4
We were dealt with politely, and given us the info about savings that we were looking for. They have also offered and set up a meeting with an IFA, and explained their relationship to this advisor. Reviewed on: 28th November 2024

Good customer service retains customers.

As BT charges me 27 pence per minute to use my landline, your freephone number is key to me dealing with you. Your operator answered almost immediately.....good. She was able to answer all my questions ..... AND close an account for me. The closing balance went straight to my bank account. She didn't rush me. Reviewed on: 28th November 2024

Staff are always helpful, but when you send through a letter telling me my savings account has matured I never know what figure to put in the box as to how much to reinvest as I havent a clue as to what amount is in the account on maturity. Reviewed on: 28th November 2024

We have been able to open two charity/community accounts. Everyone has been very helpful, the process was very simple to use and we had accounts open within a few days. Reviewed on: 28th November 2024

Varied experience

In branch service good, very helpful and pleasant staff. Very difficult to register for online banking. Requested information on how to do so and was sent an email with a password. It did not state in this email that I would receive a username separately so that I could register which I finally found out when I used the live chat. Have still not received this so still remain doubtful as to whether I will be able to register. Other email communication with a contact us link, only led to a page that said error page not found. If I did not already have an account with Saffron, I think I would have not persevered and would have looked elsewhere. Reviewed on: 28th November 2024
