Independent financial advice
We're here to help you with your savings and mortgage needs.
For other areas where we don’t offer our own products and services, we can introduce you to a selection of other providers who may be able to help you.
Why we've partnered with Wren Sterling?
We teamed up with Wren Sterling in 2012 to bring you easy access to financial advice from trusted experts who can help you achieve your financial goals. Please remember, Saffron cannot offer you advice in this area and act solely as an introducer to Wren Sterling. It’s important you take the time to check their products and services are right for you.
Wren Sterling’s financial planners are based throughout the UK. Many are Chartered Financial Planners, while others specialise in later life care and complex pension arrangements. Whatever your financial planning needs, Wren Sterling offers the industry knowledge and attention to detail needed to meet them. They are proud to be the financial planning partner to 9 UK building societies. They started some of these relationships in 2009 and so far, thousands of building society members have benefited from the independent advice.
What is financial advice?
Think of financial advice as an MOT for your money. You can talk to a Financial Adviser from Wren Sterling and make sure that everything is still on track.
Financial advice is specific to you. It isn’t generic guidance suitable for just anyone. During the process, your adviser will get to know you and your circumstances to discuss the most suitable ways to achieve your goals. Your Wren Sterling adviser can advise on all topics of financial planning, and being independent means your adviser can offer products from the whole of the market — not just the ones from the high street.
Our Forward Thinking For Your Financial Future leaflets explains more.
