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

Contradictory information given by Saffron about an ISA

My experience is hopefully unusual. I had tried to pay money into my ISA, but received an email to say that money had been taken out of it. When I rang to query, I was told that mine is a fixed rate ISA, and I cannot pay any more into it. However, I had previously paid money into the ISA with no issues. So essentially I've been given contradictory information by Saffron, and do not understand what the status of my ISA is. I do feel that a building society should understand its own products, and be consistent. Reviewed on: 12th November 2024
