Lewis was friendly, very polite and very helpful Reviewed on: 14th January 2020

I like the local branches that are still open.

I like the local branches that are still open at tye moment. Customer service generally answer questions pretty quickly. On line services could be a bit quicker to respond. The Portal needs tidying up a bit to make it more intuitive. Reviewed on: 28th January 2026

They have local branches, and give good savings rates.

High Ratings All Round

The savings rates are competitive and, through my various dealings with staff by phone or e-mail, I have always found them to be very helpful in meeting my requirements. Saffron has a programme to keep its customers "involved" if they so wish, including a Members Room where opinions of customers are sought. In addition they hold occasional events, when customers have the opportunity to meet directors and senior staff, as well as exchange news and views with other members. In summary, I consider Saffron Building Society to be an excellent organisation. Reviewed on: 28th January 2026
