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.

Excellent Service
We are a small club and opened a Community Saver Account with Saffron. When we needed to change signatories it was all done and dusted the same day. It was really easy to speak to a human, and all very pleasant and efficient. Thank you Sarah for your help. How refreshing to deal with a financial institution that is actually interested in talking to, and sorting customer problems quickly and easily.

Amateurish and not customer focused.
Possibly the most amateurish organisation I've had the misfortune to deal with. My late brother had money invested with them and their customer service has been appalling e.g asking me to go into a branch when they were aware I lived 250 miles away, asking me to send documents without providing an address, asking me to complete a form that needed me to know the balance but refusing to let me know the balance without completion of the form! The sum invested was relatively low but, unlike other building societies I dealt with, they refused to release the funds without probate. Their rigid processes are not at all customer friendly.
28/01/26: Probate was just one of the issues and you said you wouldn't be reviewing your other processes. As I promised, a complaint has now been lodged with the Ombudsman.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're sorry to hear about the distress this situation has caused, particularly at such a difficult time.
While the probate limits are outlined in our General Terms and Conditions, following your feedback we have started a review into the our required probate limits. We appreciate you raising this with us and recognise the frustration this has caused.
We would welcome the opportunity to look into your concerns further and record your dissatisfaction by logging a formal complaint. Please let us know if you want someone to call you, or alternatively please call us on 08000 721100.
If only all customer care agents were as good as Alasdair!
I have no branches close to me and when the online banking said go to branch or call customer services I was filled with dread from other banks I have dealt with. Alasdair was friendly efficient, professional and incredibly patient and understanding. It was getting close to them closing and I didn’t feel at all rushed. I battled to get my account online for ages but he made it all so easy and even waited on the phone until I was up and running. If all their agents are as good then I can’t recommend Saffon enough!
