Took just over 2 months to set up a bank account, little communication and would have to chase up every week as each call I was on for a problem or seeing what stage they are at they said it will be solved within the week which it was not. However everyone who I spoke to were always lovely and helpful. Reviewed on: 21st October 2024

Customer Services

The Customer Services Representative was very helpful and attempted to point me in the right direction. He advised on a particular type of service which I had not really considered - free advice from a Pensions Advisor - one of Saffron's Representatives. Reviewed on: 21st October 2024

Staff response / call handling is A1

5
Staff response and call handling is the best I've seen - you empower your staff and they are confident, helpful and staightforward. Your hepline works well, with no appreciable delay in reaching a human. The only reason you are not 10/10 is that your system is ultra-secure to the point that it is very easy for infrequent users (like me) to get locked out. It's happened two or three times in the past 5 or 6 years, but I only check your account about twice a year - because you are useful for cash I won't need for a while. As I deliberately spread this kind of cash out between a parcel of providers you might even get more in future as my parcel is shrinking with the Tesco & Virgin amalgamations & i'll need to balance it out again once the dust settles.

Very helpful answered all my questions.
