I sent transfer form by post to Saffron…
I sent transfer form by post to Saffron Ware branch to transfer from Aldermore immediately the account came out. Form received and confirmed by Ware Branch. Yesterday rang as I had heard nothing and was told no form received by Saffron, this despite Ware branch saying it had arrived just 3 days after posting and saying it was sent to Aldermore. Decided to cancel transfer and Staff at Ware Branch said they would try to cancel it with Aldermore when it hadn't been sent at all. Aldermore had not received anything. Set up transfer elsewhere and should be completed tomorrow (3 days). Confusion, lack of communication. All would be solved with electronic ISA transfers.

Excellent customer service
Excellent customer service. I had trouble with password issues when trying to open a cash ISA. I emailed Saffron, and even though they had since withdrawn the ISA, they gave me the opportunity of still opening the account. Thanks Jess, for your email, and many thanks to Kyle at Colchester yesterday for opening the account for me over the phone and having it up and running before 9.00am today. Thanks again, Kyle for all your help.
I know I wouldn't have had this level of consideration and service at a bigger bank, they simply wouldn't have bothered to offer me the account at all.
It's very reassuring that I can actually speak to a person if I have any difficulties with the account. Well done, Saffron, just how banking should be done! Couldn't ask for better!

Attempted to open cash ISA - Hours wasted
Attempted multiple times to open a cash ISA at 4.5% AER. Failed time and again despite the website being clear that this ISA existed. I then discovered a couple of days later that they had pulled this ISA. I would really hope that a reputable financial institution would honour this.
