Recently I had the pleasure of speaking to Kyle. A very amiable and helpful gentleman at Saffron Building Society.
I gave him my requirements to do with my savings account, and he quickly saw to my request. He was polite, efficient and professional. As are all staff at the Bishops Stortford branch.
I wish Kyle and all the staff a very Happy Christmas.

What a joy to find humans that care.
What a joy to find humans that care. being "mature" ( or old in old speak) banks can be intimidating & unhelpful whereas the Saffron were understanding and friendly and made opening an account es easy as they are allowed to legally ! They pay a good rate of interest and cant be faulted. Russell Smith was amazing helping me open my business account and now Iwill open a private one as well. BTW - IF you know any charities they do an amazingly great account for charity to make a good interest on their savings !

Fantasitc Service
I had forgotten about the email I received regarding reinvestment for an ISA so to receive a phone call about renewal was magnificent. Thank you so much. I'm staying with you forever.

I visited the branch in order to close an account
I visited the branch in order to close my mother's various accounts for which I had LPA.
Kyle Stanway talked me through the process, making all the steps easy to understand so they were quickly effected. His approach was friendly and efficient.

The staff are really helpful and thorough about choosing your investment
The staff, Emily, were knowledgeable and made time to explain my investment to me. It’s good to have a face to face consultation where you can ask questions

Password Problems
I was having problems setting a password when opening a new account, I called the Help Line.
I was greeted by Jodie in a friendly manor, not to robotic.
We went through the problem together, she pinpointed it to being certain characters that the system does not like. Gave me a temporary password and i was away.
She stuck with it, never talked down to me. I am looking forward to many years dealing with Saffron.
