Is Saffron Building Society legit?
LegitMember-owned and rooted in Essex, Saffron Building Society is a genuine savings and mortgage society, though its fraud checks can slow your money down. A large transfer or a cash deposit may be held while it checks where the money came from, and nothing moves until you confirm the activity.
What we checked
- Traces its history to 1849
- Head office in Saffron Walden
- Branches in Hertfordshire and Suffolk too
- Ratings on other review websites: 4.5/5
Watch out for
- An approach from "Saffron Moneytree" or another firm borrowing Saffron's name to offer you an investment.
- A call in Saffron's name asking for your login details or full password, which it says it never asks for.
- An ISA transfer you asked for weeks ago that has still not reached the new account.
Is Saffron holding your money for security checks?
We help you write it, it gets its own public page, and you can have it sent to Saffron Building Society as a formal letter.

We help you write an effective complaint in minutes. Our AI models are trained on thousands of effective complaint letters. Then we push it through emails, social media, paper complaint letters and other tools at our disposal. And you are not alone: our helpful community is there for advice.
How do I contact Saffron Building Society?
Call Saffron Building Society on 0800 072 1100, email saffrondirect@saffronbs.co.uk, use webchat on the Saffron website, or visit one of its branches in Essex, Hertfordshire and Suffolk. Saffron says it cannot include personal account information in its email replies, so questions about your own account are better handled by phone or in a branch. Complaints have their own email address, shown in the contact details at the top of this page, and their own page on the Saffron website. Have your account or mortgage number ready and ask for a reference.
Rate change you did not expect, or a mortgage offer delayed? Raise it here as well: we push it out to Saffron Building Society by email, social media and printed letters.
How do I transfer an ISA to or from Saffron Building Society?
To move an ISA into Saffron Building Society, open the Saffron ISA and ask Saffron to arrange the transfer from your current provider; to move a Saffron ISA elsewhere, ask the new provider to arrange it. Do not withdraw the money yourself: money taken out of an ISA usually loses its tax-free status, while a transfer keeps it.
Check the terms of a fixed-rate ISA before moving it, as an early transfer can carry an interest penalty, and keep the date you asked for the transfer, any transfer reference and the statements from both providers.
How do I complain about a Saffron Building Society mortgage?
To complain about a Saffron Building Society mortgage, write to Saffron's complaints team using the complaints email shown in the contact details or the complaints page on its website, quote the mortgage account or application number, and say what went wrong and what you want put right: a delayed offer, a valuation you dispute, a product switch that did not happen on time, the handling of arrears or an early repayment charge. If you applied through a mortgage broker, tell Saffron and keep the broker informed, as some problems sit with the broker rather than the lender.
Keep the offer, the valuation, every statement and each letter about the decision, and note the dates of calls and branch visits.
Product switch missed and a higher rate charged? Put it through our complaint process and our trained AI opens a case for you, then keeps coaching on what to reply to Saffron and when to push again.
Can I take a Saffron Building Society complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service?
Yes: the Financial Ombudsman Service handles complaints that UK consumers have about banks, building societies and other financial firms, and that covers complaints by Saffron Building Society members about its savings, mortgages and other financial products and services. The Financial Ombudsman Service generally expects Saffron to have had the chance to put things right first, so keep a record of every call, branch visit, webchat, letter and reference.
Rate change applied without the notice you expected? We help you write the complaint in minutes, drawing on thousands of complaint letters that actually worked.
Is Saffron Moneytree part of Saffron Building Society?
No. Saffron Moneytree is a clone firm that copied Saffron Building Society's details to look genuine, and the society has no connection with it. Saffron also says that when it contacts you, it will never ask for your login details or your full password.

And we stay with it after you file. Our trained AI opens a case file for you and keeps coaching: what to reply, when to push again, and how to escalate if nothing happens.
