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

Suffolk Building Society's Savings product shines with genuinely friendly, helpful staff and a lovely local branch experience that makes banking feel personal and straightforward. Many appreciate the face-to-face service and clear advice, plus competitive interest rates that suit a variety of savers. However, some grumble about limited branch opening hours, especially on Saturdays, and wish for better automation like automatic interest certificates. Mortgage experiences were often frustrating due to slow processing and unclear communication.
