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.

Visited Ravenswood branch today for a meeting with Laura Edwards, specifically to discuss how to invest proceeds from a recent house sale. I act on behalf of my friend as his LPA and it is his funds we discussed for investment in relation to his future care costs. Laura immediately understood the situation and provided good information on the products available. Laura also explained the differences between the options. I chose two products and we opened the necessary accounts. I came away happy with what we had achieved .... I didn't expect anything less !! Thanks Laura. Read more Read less
