We have been able to open two charity/community accounts. Everyone has been very helpful, the process was very simple to use and we had accounts open within a few days. Reviewed on: 28th November 2024

Varied experience

3
In branch service good, very helpful and pleasant staff. Very difficult to register for online banking. Requested information on how to do so and was sent an email with a password. It did not state in this email that I would receive a username separately so that I could register which I finally found out when I used the live chat. Have still not received this so still remain doubtful as to whether I will be able to register. Other email communication with a contact us link, only led to a page that said error page not found. If I did not already have an account with Saffron, I think I would have not persevered and would have looked elsewhere. Reviewed on: 28th November 2024

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
