Is there anyone there?…
I have been trying to open a cash ISA with them. Not an enjoyable experience. Their competitors offer a slick up-to-date process, not something from the 20th century.
Far from clear whether my application had gone through so I sent them an email. No response to that. So I later phoned them. On hold for 15 minutes before hanging up. Had another go at emailing them - still waiting for a response.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your expectations on this occasion.
We understand how frustrating it must have been not to receive updates on your application and to experience delays when trying to contact us. Due to high demand for our ISA accounts, we have seen increased volumes of enquires, which has regrettably impacted our response times when answering member calls and emails.
We would also like to formally record your dissatisfaction as a complaint. This will help us to investigate the matter further and ensure that we take the necessary steps to prevent similar issues in the future.
Please allow us the opportunity to assist you further. If you could provide us with your contact details or reach out to our customer service team directly, we will work to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

Saffron is always unfailingly helpful
Saffron is always unfailingly helpful. Today, Caroline was very good when I wanted to change an old issue savings account to the latest issue with a better rate. Many savings providers make you do a complicated open a new account, transfer the money online, close the old account - all doing it online yourself in several stages. With Saffron everything is brilliantly easy and Caroline just said she would sort it all out for me. Great service. Thank you!

Cannot withdraw and staff not helping
I gave my maturity instructions and I have been messaging the bank for several days now but there is apparently no way I can access funds from my 'instant access' account now my savings have matured. Things go wrong but staff attitude when they do is a measure of the business. My experience has been very poor.

Saffron Building Society. One of the best
I have used the Saffron Building Society for a number of years. I have always found their savings products competitive and their website easy to operate. I was very pleased to leaen The Saffron offer a loyalty bond, for customers who have stuck with them. Its very refreshing as many financial institutions offer their best rates to new customers only and not their long standing ones.
I had reason to call today, and was dealt with by Kyle who I must say was friendly and helpful. I am sure I will be dealing with the Saffron Building Society for many years to come. Keep up the great work.

Saffron BS apologised for HMRC reporting error …
Saffron BS apologised for incorrectly failing to report interest to HMRC on a couple of savers. They investigated, identified, and gave me a written response that included all the necessary information. They did so pretty quick too, which is pretty important given deadline for self-assessment is 31.01.26! Taking ownership is to their credit. I can't give 5 stars ... it was a Saffron error after all; but very happy to award 4 and keep using this mutual, with increased confidence that problems are effectively sorted out in the future. Thank you, Leah, Ass. Cluster Man., for the 'sincere apology' ... it was appreciated.
