Review of the Suffolk Building Society, formerly Ipswich Building Society, Savings:

An excellent local society

Though disappointed when the local Agency closed, it is good to have an excuse to visit Woodbridge to deal with the excellent staff who are always helpful and this includes telephone chats as well. In a competitive market the rates on at least one of the accounts is attractive. Email responses to enquiries are usually dealt with reasonably quickly and helpfully by another office. Reviewed on: 28th July 2022

A local branch network with god products and friendly helpful staff to assist those of us in our 80s.

When we visited our local branch to consider whether to renew our saving accounts,in December 2022, orwithdrawer,because of low interest rates we were advised t o await the new 2023 improved savings offers eg 1 Fixed rate Bonds, and the Freehold ISAs. Reviewed on: 7th February 2023

The Sudbury Branch

As new customers we have been delighted by the welcome and friendliness of the staff. They readily explain things we are unsure about. So good not to be expected to adopt online banking too. We prefer to do things the old ways! Reviewed on: 7th February 2023

The very best, very local Building Society

I have been a member of this Building Society since the 1970’s , had a mortgage with them as well as savings, they are always ready to help and have very good savings rates for a local Society. I would thoroughly recommend them! They deserve to be rewarded! Reviewed on: 7th February 2023

Great interest rates, brilliantly helpful staff

At a time when Bank of England interest rates were regularly changing, I went to invest in a fixed term savings plan. The staff I spoke to advised me holding on for a few days as they foresaw another increase in rates coming. I followed their advice and was happily rewarded. Reviewed on: 7th February 2023
