Review of the Saffron Building Society, Savings:

We are a very small registered charity.

We are a very small registered charity. We found it really difficult to find any institution that would take us on board. When we contacted Saffron they were extremely helpful and welcoming.. Our account was up and running within two weeks and everyone was polite and there to answer any query we had. Reviewed on: 28th November 2024

Poor customer service and product knowledge of staff...

Poor customer service and product knowledge of staff in Bishops Stortford branch. Unable to effectively answer account maturity query and app questions. A lot of work required here to improve. Reviewed on: 4th November 2024

Competitive rates & friendly staff

Freddie was very helpful and was able to swap accounts upon maturity. No admin from me required. Marvellous Reviewed on: 4th November 2024

Excellent monthly savings rate!

Excellent monthly savings interest rate with a good maximum of £500 permitted per month. Much better than other providers. Was able to benefit from this despite not having to open a Current Account with them, which was a bonus, although initially, I could only invest £50 per month for a year. But still a great deal. They rewarded me for my loyalty, which is very rare these days. Customer service agents are, friendly, and knowledgeable. Response times are very quick if you have any queries, and easy but safe access to online accounts is another added bonus. Highly recommend. Reviewed on: 3rd November 2024
