SUFFOLK BUILDING SOCIETY
We are where we’re from. Suffolk through and through.
In 1849 the Ipswich & Suffolk Freehold Land Society was founded to “improve the social position and promote the moral elevation of the unenfranchised population of this country”.
174 years on, our name may have changed but we’re still driven to do what’s right. We’re owned by our members, not shareholders. When we make a profit, it goes towards investing in the future of the Society and doing good in our community.

Have been meaning to open a Savings Account for some time. We have no banks left in town but we have the convenience of the Suffolk Building Society here. Staff were very helpful in opening the account and always extremely pleasant when I go in to put some money in my account. Thank you.

Always like to support a small local building society over the big banks. The service is always excellent, the staff knowledgeable about their products and they offer a good range of competitive accounts. Our local branch is Sudbury and we have always found the staff friendly and efficient.

I have always found it very easy to contact Suffolk Building society by phone, or by email or on line, and the staff are always friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and efficient. For me, this is the most important feature of a good building society.

We took out a mortgage on our house to help children get on the property ladder and have found Ipswich now Suffolk Building Society a friendly, professional and human organisation – just like building societies and banks used to be but so few are these days. A great team of people.
