Porting part of our Mortgage

Always a great service!

It's always a pleasure speaking to the FBS representatives anytime I call. They are quick to understand what I need and super helpful in answering my question. I call today and Aaron was super helpful in giving me an update on the opted mortgage product and offering alternatives. I am happy customer and highly recommend them! Reviewed on: 30th May 2024

Shoddy service for a loyal customer.

The letter sent to me on the 8/5/24 gave the wrong figure for the monthly repayment - a highly inflated figure which was frightening when first read. I am elderly and sometimes get thrown by figures. My daughter pointed out your error, but I wonder what would have happened to someone with no advice on hand. This was an example of really shoddy cut and paste by your Loans Underwriting Team. When I phoned I as given an apology and told the correct letter would be sent. So far it has not arrived. Reviewed on: 21st May 2024
