Reliable with great customer service Staff always very helpful,nothing is too much trouble Reviewed on: 21st February 2024

Problems accessing my online account

4
Previously I have been able to access my regular saver online and give my maturity instructions but this year I couldn’t log on. I saw that there was a problem with Safari but I wasn’t able to log on with Chrome either. Everyone I know who has a Saffron account has had to either phone or send a form in the post. I hope you manage to sort this out soon. Reviewed on: 21st February 2024
