Reviews for Suffolk Building Society, formerly Ipswich Building Society have trended positively over the past 90 days

Suffolk Building Society’s Savings product shines with genuinely friendly, helpful staff and a lovely local branch experience that feels personal and welcoming. Many appreciate the clear explanations and the option to deal face-to-face rather than online. However, some grumble about limited Saturday opening hours and feel the savings rates could be more competitive. Mortgages left a few feeling frustrated by slow processes and poor communication.

Positive themes

  • Savings staff are friendly, helpful and make you feel genuinely welcome.
  • Savings branches offer a personal touch with face-to-face service and clear explanations.
  • Savings accounts have good interest rates and a decent range of products.

Negative themes

  • Savings rates could be better; some found them poor compared to others.
  • Saturday opening hours for Savings branches are missed by many customers.
  • Mortgage service was slow and frustrating with poor communication.
