Review of the Saffron Building Society, Savings:

Society procedures neec to be improved.

I was unable to transfer money from one of my accounts online despite the fact that I operate all my Saffron accounts online. On the telephone, a very helpful member of staff was able to transfer the money to my nominated account but I couldn't. “Clunky” procedures like that certainly detract for the Society’s appeal to me.

I am very lucky to have a local branch, the friendly staff helped set up an ISA. I used telephone support setting up online access. They were incredibly patient sorting out a wrongly input password, staying with me each step in setting up the account access. Reviewed on: 12th April 2025

I had some initial issues with accessing savings which required Saffron to expedite an account change. Ian who dealt with it was exceptional. Both in understanding the problem and really going above and beyond to help me out by resolving it. Really outstanding customer service. Reviewed on: 11th April 2025
