Welcome to the members’ lounge.
We exist to benefit our members – now and for the future. With us, membership means more than being a customer; as a saver or a borrower, you are part of our community.
We want you to have your say on how the Society is run, to welcome you along to our exclusive events and to get involved with our sponsor partners.
Take a look at how to manage your account, and how to get involved below.

Scroll through the links to get help paying in, managing your mortgage and getting some help if you need it.
Is your savings account still right for your savings goals?
We offer a range of savings products with different terms and conditions, and interest rates.
Do you need instant access to your funds? If not, you could benefit from an increased savings rate. For example, you could place your funds in a notice account, or a fixed rate bond.
We’ll be pleased to provide details of your current savings account. We will also help you understand other options that are available.
Always Here for our members
How are we doing?
Like a good neighbour we’re here for our members. If there’s anything you want to tell us, please get in touch with your local branch, drop us an email or give us a call. We’d love you to leave us an honest review and tell others what it’s like to be part of Suffolk Building Society.
What our members say
“
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.

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.

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.

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.
