Holly was helpful, patient, understanding and generally exactly the sort of person you would like to speak to when you phone an organisation for help. Also my call was answered promptly - a real bonus. Reviewed on: 25th April 2022

One of the times I rang was because there'd been a glitch with a deposit and it had been returned. Obviously it'd be good if it didn't do that but the experience overall was still great which probably says a lot. Reviewed on: 25th April 2022

I was guided to setting up On line acct. unfortunately I could not get past the security questions kept telling me to enter a valid answer. I thought the answer I gave was a valid one. Kept going round in circles. Not sure I will bother. Reviewed on: 25th April 2022

Staff have been very friendly and helpful in your Colchester branch. Only reason we don't use the branch more often is that we live in Ipswich, and had used the Saffron to save our money whilst there was a gap between us owning houses. Reviewed on: 20th April 2022
