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

Suffolk Building Society, formerly Ipswich Building Society really shines with its friendly, helpful staff and the personal face-to-face service that feels like a proper local community hub. People love the convenience of local branches and the straightforward, clear advice they get. On the downside, some find the savings rates a bit low and wish for longer opening hours or more modern banking features like cards and online access. Mortgage experiences were mixed, with some frustrations over delays and communication.

Positive themes

  • Savings staff are friendly, helpful and explain everything clearly.
  • Local branches are convenient and offer a welcoming atmosphere.
  • Savings products have competitive rates and clear terms.

Negative themes

  • Savings rates could be better compared to other providers.
  • Branch opening hours are too limited; Saturday openings missed.
  • Mortgage service was slow and frustrating with poor communication.
