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

Hadleigh branch review

I like face to face transactions, this has led me to invest £85,000 with you. Personal contact I value and trust. Reviewed on: 8th September 2021

A little dated

I like my fixed rate saver as not too bad of a penalty if I withdraw early, however no online service is not very 2021 and the Ipswich branches close at 3pm which is bizarre. Reviewed on: 27th August 2021

Poor interest rates

Better interest rates found at other Building Soc so had to change companies and the cost of changing the name of this soc should not be down to the savers Reviewed on: 20th August 2021

Good staff in branch

4
I only have positive things to say regarding staff and service in branch. I usually use Halesworth branch. I do however feel that the society could do with a major revamp of its online services. In this day and age you really should be able to check your accounts on line and currently this isn’t available. Reviewed on: 19th August 2021
