Smart Savings

I have been saving with the Suffolk Building Society for several years from when it was called the Ipswich Building Society. Saving with them is easy and rates are good. Reviewed on: 7th February 2023

A friendly Human experience

5
A face to face consultation with a knowledgable friendly person, what a treat! None of the high street banks “you can do it online” advise - I was so happy to see someone face to face to discuss options. Makes such a difference, so reassuring. Thank you! Reviewed on: 7th February 2023

Excellent service with a smile

It's always a pleasure to go into our SBS branch. We are met with professional, friendly service every time. Reviewed on: 7th February 2023

Customer Service

5
Late in 2022 I invested with SBS. The 1-1, face-to-face customer service was probably the best I have received at any bank or BS in the last 20-30 years. On leaving I felt I had chosen well. Thank you for your personal assistance, well done SBS! Reviewed on: 7th February 2023

Reassuring and Informative

5
This is the fist time that I have used the Suffolk Building Society. What impressed me was the plesant and informative staff at the Woodbridge Branch. There was no pressure to make decisions on what savings account to open and every thing was explained in detail. I have since opened an account and will be transfering some more money to other accounts with the Branch. Reviewed on: 7th February 2023

Branch visits always pleasant experience

5
staff willing to offer alternatives to suit customer requirements, nothing seems to much trouble. they appear to want to understand why customers raise queries, and make them feel welcome. despite modern day banking trends to force people online, branches are a lifeline for many people. Reviewed on: 7th February 2023

Friendly, professional, reliable.

5
The Suffolk Building Society truly is a dependable and very friendly place to have a savings account or mortgage. You get to deal with real people, in person; people who know what they are doing and who treat customers with respect. A modern business with ‘old-fashioned’ values. I am so thankful to have the Suffolk to look after my money because I have confidence in everyone I’ve ever dealt with there. That is a huge bonus in today’s world. Reviewed on: 7th February 2023
