Helpful and swift. The other members of staff were polite and friendly and clearly give a good customer focused service that so many other banks do not do these days. Please keep it this way. Keep being focused on face to face banking. Reviewed on: 4th March 2020

Great customer service

Chi was very patient and professional. I hope the person carrying out her instructions will be the same and do the job right the first time. It's a shame this can't be done online Reviewed on: 10th February 2026

On holiday in Spain and couldn’t get the website to transfer money between accounts. Phoned to try and sort and it was dealt with so efficiently and in a friendly helpful way. Good old fashioned service at its best. Was made to feel like I was their only customer. Reviewed on: 9th February 2026

great customer service from Charlotte Hartnell

5
I recently had reason to call for assistance with my online savings account. Charlotte Hartnell provided great customer service. Previously I had a mortgage with Saffron and it was always the same when I spoke with someone on the phone. It makes doing banking so much more pleasurable and makes me feel valued as a customer.
