I called the telephone adviser today, not knowing what to expect. He was very helpful knowledgeable about the Society's products, put me at ease and gave me so much good information that I can go back to my client with extreme confidence. I can't understand why I haven't dealt with before. I certainly will try again in the future, where criteria allows. Reviewed on: 29th February 2024

Superb customer service

Spoke to Luke Green regarding two matters relating to our current mortgage and impact for the future. He was knowledgeable, extremely polite and very helpful. He promised to call or write back on one matter, and he did so within an hour . He is a credit to your organisation. Reviewed on: 21st February 2024

I have had the pleasure of speaking to the team on two occasions over the past two weeks. I do have a slight hearing problem for which I apologised and asked their understanding. On both occasions I was treated as an individual with kindness, respect and understanding by Rosie and the agent today ( I am sorry I didn’t quite catch her name). They were knowledgeable and most professional throughout. Thank you so much. Reviewed on: 21st February 2024

Congratulations over your telephone answering service

Unlike nearly every other financial organisation I use The Family does not keep me waiting for approx 30 mins or more on the telephone, while I wait twiddling my thumbs, for any contact whatsoever. Keep it up "Family", as it is a reminder to everyone of what good service used to be like. Reviewed on: 20th February 2024

FBS simply the best customer service

I contacted FBS to advise them I was thinking of Equity Release. Louise took the call & without being overbearing she offered up other products that she thought might be beneficial to me. Her professionalism & knowledge was excellent & enabled me to find a product that fulfilled my requirements. Louise proceeded to talk me through the process fully explaining all aspects. A completely positive experience from a top professional. Reviewed on: 15th February 2024
