Overall extremely slow - it took several (on average 5) before anything sent to you was even looked at never mind actioned. This gave rise to a very poor and stressful customer experience. And then there was delay at your end setting up the DD - resulting in a warning letter from your collections department! Not a good introduction to Saffron. Read more Read less

I had tried to pay money into my ISA, but received an email to say that money had been taken out of it. When I rang to query, I was told that mine is a fixed rate ISA, and I cannot pay any more into it. However, I had previously paid money into the ISA with no issues. So essentially I've been given contradictory information by Saffron, and do not understand what the status of my ISA is. I do feel that a building society should understand its own products, and be consistent. Read more Read less
