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.

I have been with Suffolk BS for three years now, with recent changes to my mortgage arranged by telephone and email. The process was necessarily thorough, but clear and efficient. It was especially helpful to be able to communicate with the same individual throughout, who understood my situation and requirements. The excellent customer service is a real bonus. The opportunity to go through options in detail, check out any queries and discuss issues before making a decision was most reassuring. I could thoroughly recommend Suffolk BS for anybody considering a mortgage, remortgage or equity release. Read more Read less
