Attended the Bishops Stortford office for a coffee and cake morning and was delighted to go in with my investment currently earning 3% and come out with it being transferred to an ISA paying 4.3% tax free. Had not considered it before and was absolutely thrilled with the advice that I had received. Reviewed on: 12th June 2024

It was very easy to open a savings account, otherwise I wouldn't have done it. Staff at Saffron are always polite and knowledgeable, that's why I chose them, even though there are higher interest rates elsewhere. Reviewed on: 12th June 2024

Contacted via secure message to enquire when I would receive Maturity Instruction pack. Confirmed if I knew what I wanted to do, I could deal with it via secure messaging. All dealt with quickly and efficiently. Reviewed on: 12th June 2024

Nominated Bank Account not appearing.

Nominated Bank Account not appearing. Needed to change password. Had to wait in telephone queue for 20 mins. When I eventually got into my account, no nominated bank account appeared to transfer money into, despite having used this many times before. So had to phone again and wait 15 mins in queue. When I eventually got through, your employees were friendly, patient anfd helpful. Reviewed on: 8th June 2024
