Reply from Family Building Society Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review. We’re sorry to hear that you’ve found the website difficult to navigate and that you’re disappointed you can’t make ad‑hoc mortgage payments online. Unfortunately, due to system limitations ad-hoc mortgage payments cannot be made through our Online Service. Information about how you can make overpayments against your mortgage is available on our website .familybuildingsociety.co.uk/mortgages/mortgages-faqs. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, and it will be passed on for consideration as part of our ongoing efforts to enhance our services and improve the overall customer experience.
