Please keep this 0800 service available. Many building societies have dispensed with personal service, even for complex enquiries. Not everyone has technology they can use or in a secure environment. I particularly hate chat bots. Reviewed on: 12th October 2023

Your free phone number is a HUGE selling point for me....avoiding 22pence a minute telephone calls. Reviewed on: 11th October 2023

I'm happy with the experience. I know a lot of people will be too impatient to wait the times it takes to set up a new payee and to transfer money out of a Saffron account, but I'm very patient and appreciate the time, effort and security. Reviewed on: 10th October 2023
