Society procedures neec to be improved.

I was unable to transfer money from one of my accounts online despite the fact that I operate all my Saffron accounts online. On the telephone, a very helpful member of staff was able to transfer the money to my nominated account but I couldn't. “Clunky” procedures like that certainly detract for the Society’s appeal to me.

All fab, especially Danielle

The staff who have helped me - mostly the lovely Danielle - were so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. It's always a pleasure to phone up. Reviewed on: 18th July 2024

Tops as Ever

Needed advice and got it promptly Reviewed on: 18th July 2024

New Member 2024

Ease of application process backed up with very helpful telephone support. Reviewed on: 18th July 2024

More Work to do

In places it is not as good as other building societies. The management should review other building societies and check what is available. For instant being able to print statements in PDF. Reviewed on: 18th July 2024

Very good customer care

Very helpful friendly staff ,feel that they are interested in resolving your problems Reviewed on: 18th July 2024

Better Deals Elsewhere.

Despite having an existing Saffron account, Saffron closed my member's account with them as apparently "I didn't have a relationship with them during the previous 12 months". Better deals - and more polite customer service - available elsewhere. Reviewed on: 18th July 2024

Online account

I set up an online account continuing the monthly internal transfer to a savings account, however it hasn’t gone through twice since the account was established. It has been transferred manually from the branch but the idea that it should go automatically was the reason it was set up in the first place. No one has yet explained why this hasn’t happened.
