Through our support of Suffolk Wildlife Trust we aim to help safeguard the county’s wildlife and countryside, protecting and cherishing it for future generations to enjoy. We’ll be working with the Trust to help raise awareness to our members through events, partnerships and offers.
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.

Partnerships.
We’re proud to be Suffolk through and through. That’s why we champion like-minded businesses and non-for-profit organisations to place ourselves at the heart of our communities. From sponsorships to financial education, we’re driven by doing what’s right, supporting our county and promoting all that is good.
We’re pleased to showcase some of the organisations we are currently supporting.
Suffolk Wildlife Trust
Supporting local charities
With our Mutual Advantage account, not only do you receive interest on your own savings, we also give the nominated branch charities a 0.30% bonus each year, calculated on the average balance of ‘their’ accounts across the year.
Suffolk Punch Trust
In 2021 we donated £2,000 to the Suffolk Punch Trust, helping them reach their £10,000 fundraising target to continue their breeding programme and purchase vital new equipment. We will continue our work with the Trust to help them protect this critically endangered breed, the oldest English breed of working horse, which has been so important to our county.
Suffolk High Sheriff Awards
Hosted by the Suffolk Community Foundation, the awards reward the volunteers, charities and community groups in Suffolk who are dedicated to benefiting our communities by committing their time and energy.
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
“
Ipswich Building Society explained the process very clearly at each stage. My mortgage consultant was extremely helpful and efficient, she responded to my questions and queries very promptly and in general the process went very smoothly.

I always use Nacton Branch for any transactions. They are always most helpful and nothing is too much trouble, even when I need them to explain things they take the time to help me to understand. Lots of different staff but always lovely.

It is very easy to contact Ipswich Building society and to speak to an advisor. I received good advice and I am very happy with my mortgage. Everything was set up with the minimum of fuss.
