Regular Saving

I have found the help via emails excellent. It would however be easier and less labour intensive if some of this could be done on line Reviewed on: 5th January 2022

Couldn't have been more helpful

5
Due to having to isolate, contacted SBS by email to get funds from a maturing savings transferred directly into my bank account without having to go into branch. Apart from one telephone call for security checks, all done by email and the funds are already in my account. Brilliant, thank you so much. Vivky was the lady who assisted me, but when I have been into a branch/emailed in the past, staff have always been very helpful. Reviewed on: 4th January 2022

Power of Attorney

Shelley Curtis and her team at the Saxmundham branch have been fantastic in assisting me to manage an elderly customer's account using a Lasting Power of Attorney. Refreshingly straightforward compared with the larger banks. Reviewed on: 23rd December 2021

Hadleigh branch review

3
Branch services static, even the staff all bank in Hadleigh. Branch coverage is pathetic. AGM's not rotated outside Ipswich. Top people pay too high. Reviewed on: 11th October 2021

Reply from Suffolk Building Society, formerly Ipswich Building Society Hi there, thanks for the comment. We're very sorry to hear you've looked to move your savings elsewhere - but we do understand given that there's no online facility. We are going to be launching online savings in the near future and it's a priority for us in 2022. We hope you might take a look at our savings accounts again in the future when we've launched our online offering. Response date: 11th October 2021

Aldeburgh branch review

5
It's brilliant you have branches with helpful staff open on the high street. It so great to talk to real people. Recently a solicitor sent a CHAPS and left off the account number. The solicitor rang up the bank and explained and got a unique number. I had gone into Saxmondham Branch to see if it had gone in but it hadn't. Next morning the cashier rang me to say it had gone in, they knew I was worried. I was so grateful. Great service Reviewed on: 4th October 2021
