I tried to get through on the 9th June. Automated service says I was number one in the queue. I hung on for 30 minutes each minute to be told I was first in the queue. It then offered me a call back service which I acceoted but did not get a call back. Today I phoned again and Louise Taylor answered the phome and thank goodness was extremely helpful and was able to help me. Reviewed on: 11th June 2025

Great customer service as well as competitive rates

I have my mortgage with Family because they had the best rate and it hasn't been any trouble. In a position now to make an overpayment and so called up to understand the process and was very happy with the service. Spoke to Lisa and Jill on separate calls and they were both excellent. Polite, professional and proactively helpful really tremendous friendly service both times. Great to get such excellent human service will recommend Family after this experience.
