Cycle to Work Initiatives
Accepted Voucher Providers
Transform your journey with a Cycle to Work scheme voucher, making it easier to spread the
cost of your bespoke Saffron bicycle while enjoying extra savings.
We’re proud to accept vouchers from the following trusted providers.
Please note, there is a small surcharge applied to orders placed with vouchers. Many
customers may not realize that processing vouchers comes with fees from the provider. As a
small, independent business, we believe in transparency, which is why we share the cost of
processing these vouchers fairly with our customers. Here’s a breakdown of the fees for
each provider:
- Green Commute Initiative (GCI) 6% fee → 3% surcharge
- Cyclescheme 10% fee → 5% surcharge
- Cycle2Work 15% fee → 7.5% surcharge
- Cycle Solutions 12% fee → 6% surcharge
- Vivup 12.5% fee → 6.25% surcharge
- Bike 2 Work 10% fee → 5% surcharge
- MyBenefitsWorld 3% fee → No surcharge
The surcharge is calculated based on the voucher value, not the total cost of your order.
Placing an Order with Your Voucher
When using a voucher, the process changes slightly at the end of your order journey. We
can process your voucher once your order is ready for shipment or collection, as the voucher
must be linked to a specific frame number assigned during assembly. If your voucher has an
expiration date, please ensure you request it in time for it to remain valid by your order’s
expected delivery date.
Here’s how the process works:
- Submit your deposit on our website.
- Receive your build sheet, which outlines your bike’s specifications, expected delivery date, and total build cost. You can use this as a quote when requesting your voucher.
- Request your voucher through your employer’s scheme.
- Email us with the voucher details, including the total value and provider. We’ll apply the surcharge and integrate the voucher into your order.
- Once received, email us your PDF voucher. This is essential for some providers, as it enables us to prepare for processing when your order is ready.
- If your voucher doesn’t cover the full order cost, we’ll send an invoice for the remaining balance.
- Voucher processing will take place once your order is ready for shipment or collection. Any overpayments will be refunded against your deposit.
To get the best savings, we recommend applying for a voucher that covers your entire order.
Once processed, your deposit will be refunded, minus the surcharge.
