A REAL BOON FOR THE ELDERLY

5
My wife and I are in our mid-80's. We sought a home for our savings that would not entail too much technology - offering good old-fashioned personal service instead. The Suffolk Building Society provided the ideal answer. We were greeted in branch with real friendliness combined with impressive efficiency. The account was opened, monthly inward transfers set up and documentation received in very little time at all. We thought personal customer service had died. Our heartening experience with the Suffolk Building Society proved that belief a complete myth. Reviewed on: 2nd February 2024
