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.

My child had some inheritance that needed a very specific trust account that not many banks or buildings societies offer. After being given false information and a lack of clarity by many providers, Suffolk made the process so simple. Alexandra laid out everything that was needed to open the account, guided me each step of the way, and kept me well informed on each stage of the application. A pleasure.

    Walked past and popped in for a coffee

    Was offered lots of different options as this is going to be for my granddaughter. Was given impartial advice and after some logical thinking, ended up with the best option.
