Fantastic service from Bronwen Lee at Colchester Branch. We have power of attorney for mother-in-law who has dementia. Having sold her house to pay for care we needed a safe place for savings in the meantime. After having had variable experiences with other banks/buildings societies Saffron was a breath of fresh air. Personal service and very helpful. Having walked in to the branch stressed Saffron helped us through the process and we walked out having made a full Power of Attorney application for a savings account with a fair rate of interest. The account was opened a few days later - fantastic. So easy. Wish we'd come to Saffron earlier! Many thanks again to Bronwen - brilliant service (and with a cup of tea, too - the icing on the cake!)
