Fabulous front-facing service !

5
A lengthy and helpful discussion with Kristine re 2 x matured accounts who was exceptionally efficient and patient. A very wet day so luckily not a long (cross) queue of people behind me. Referred to IFA Wren . Reviewed on: 27th January 2026

Simply good.

5
Simply good. I can recommend about their service and understanding. Reviewed on: 27th January 2026

Customer friendly and informative.

5
I have found Saffron Building Society to be extremely customer friendly. Whenever I’ve had occasions to contact them, they confirm what my reason for calling is and so verify that they know what my query/question is which is reassuring. I’ve always been given an answer with an explanation and then asked if my question has been addressed and if I’d like to ask anything else. That’s what l call first class customer service.

SBS is a socially minded organisation

Saffron Building Society is a helpful, socially minded organisation. If you need to ask a question, you can phone them and talk to a human. Reviewed on: 27th January 2026

Fair return but web site can be cumbersome

4
Savings products provide a fair return but the web site sign-up process is cumbersome, and the guidance on choosing a password/phrase is confusing. I chose a long phrase from which I must choose numbered characters to log on - this is not convenient. Reviewed on: 27th January 2026
