Big shout out to Max Rendell for his excellent customer service
I'd like to thank Max for his exceptional customer service when I visited the Brentwood branch to register Power of Attorney for my mother.
As it is only possible to register POA in branch, I was expecting a delay of a couple of weeks before I'd be able to close my mother's accounts and access the funds, which are needed for my parents to be able to move into a more suitable property.
Max took copies of the POA document and my ID there and then. Completion of a simple form meant POA was registered straight away. I was able to close my mother's accounts immediately and was issued with cheques for the closing balances straight away. In less than 40 minutes we had achieved what I'd expected would take weeks. This has really helped to ease the burden on my mother who needs to be able to move as soon as possible.
Thanks Max for all your help and support. It is very much appreciated!

Old School Service and Courtesy
Phone answered quickly by a real person in England on a real phone. Very competent and polite, helpful and knowledgeable. And nice. Really felt like she cared. TBH I thought I'd stepped into a time machine, it was if the last 25 years of terrible service experiences hadn't happened. An object lesson in doing the important thing right, even if its a bit more expensive, paying dividends. I would have to get a MUCH higher rate of interest to even consider a switch.

Great customer care.
From the inital contact from Saffron to our appointment to discuss our account was first class.
Kyle Stanway who we had our appointment with was both knowledgeable and friendly.
He explained our options and listened to our opinions and we were very happy with our choice.
My husband was reluctant to come to the appointment as he leaves all the finance matters to me but when we left the first words he said to me were "well that was good, wasn't he a lovely man."
Well done Kyle you havea great rapport with customers which was appreciated .

Great customer service - and interest rates
We transferred an ISA to Saffron because they were offering a very competitive rate. There was a delay in the transfer being completed due to an error at Saffron's end, but the reason I'm still giving a very positive review is the people I spoke to on the phone did a brilliant job of sorting it out - they kept us informed throughout the process and were always clear and friendly in their communications. I've come to Trustpilot in the past due to bad experiences and wanted to share this one as an example of customer service done right!
