Staff are at the heart

Staff are always friendly, patient and helpful. I like that you can go into the Building Society on the High Street but the customer service is equally good. Reviewed on: 10th February 2026

Not Lost That Lovin' Feeling

5
The whole banking process has gradually 'lost that loving feeling' since the accelerated branch closures of the big five High Street banks. SWBS has managed to retain the common touch and genuinely does feel as if the staff, on the phone or in person, know who you are. This is not taught by script.....this is by example - Good On You, SaffronBS. Reviewed on: 10th February 2026
