Saffron Building Society Cash ISA
I was attracted by the rate Saffron were offering on the Cash ISA they launched in late March 2026.
However it quickly became clear they didn't have the staffing resources to deal with a large influx of new customers. I read of long delays in transferring in ISAs from other providers so I waited till May to request my transfer in thinking they would have cleared the backlog by then. How wrong I was. I submitted my transfer form by email on 7th May. When I hadn't heard anything by 18th May I rang for an update only to be told my request was still just sat in the inbox and no-one had even looked at it yet. They acknowledged that they'd been swamped with transfer in requests and were stuggling to cope. So why launch a market leading product when you don't have the resources to provide a decent level of service?
I could possibly have forgiven that but to add insult to injury I now read that Saffron are reducing the interest rate to 4.35%. I only know of this from looking at online forums, Saffron haven't bothered to let me know directly. So first you frustrate customers with delays to their transfers, then how do you go about getting them back onside, oh yeah, you reduce the interest rate just 3 months after launching the product. This is despite there being no movement in the Bank of Engand base rate.
All you have achieved is angered new customers who are now unlikely to given you their business again and probably cheesed off your own staff too who sadly have to deal with the backlash from customers. Now there's going to be an influx of customers wanting to transfer out, and I bet Saffron aren't able to cope with that either. Shambles.

More than one year for Self-build mortgage application. Impersonal service; over pedantic requirements; slow to respond. We gave up and went elsewhere for funding. We would NEVER recommend Saffron.

Spoke with Kyle this morning to update my address details, Kyle then spotted we could be earning more interest and so changed over our accounts to higher earning ones, and then sorted out my online access. He couldn’t have been more helpful if he tried! Awesome customer service.
