All sorted with one call

I telephoned to ask a question, not only was question answered but the young man sorted out what I needed to do for me Reviewed on: 21st June 2024

Good regular saver rates

Everything has gone smoothly. They've got some good regular saver rates, but their easy access account rates aren't fantastic. Reviewed on: 21st June 2024

Renewed a fixed account.

I was sent a message to renew a fixed account. Instructions said to select 'maturity options' but there was no option. I messaged about this but received no reply. The next day I checked and the option button was there. Reviewed on: 21st June 2024

Unreliable banking experience, poor communication

Saffron closed my new account w/o any Comms & sent vague email about withdrawal. I suspected security breach. Asked Saffron twice, you told I wasn't eligible to open the acct. Why not inform cust while opening acct? Why take a week to act?I'm disappointed with very laissez faire attitude. No response to my 13 June2024 email Disappointed Reviewed on: 21st June 2024

Easy to apply for and set up account.

Account closed without warning

My last experience was getting an email from you telling me my withdrawal had been processed. Given I hadn't made one I was a tad worried, until I logged in and found you'd closed my account without warning. Apparently I didn't qualify for a member account as I hadn't been a member on some date in 2023, which I was a bit miffed by as I've had accounts with you on and off for years (although I've long lived in Yorkshire I was formerly in Essex, hence the connection).

The Royston Saffron BS

There is a branch near where I live and the staff are always kind and helpful. The products are competitive too, and offer a good rate of interest on the savings accounts. Reviewed on: 21st June 2024

Small business savings

We are a small business and have started a savings account the rate is very good which means we get a good return on our investment. Reviewed on: 16th June 2024

Consumer facing technologies seem to work OK.

Consumer facing technologies seem to work OK. I have experienced queuing with the Telephone 0800 and abandoned a call . Reviewed on: 15th June 2024
