EXCELLENT PRODUCT, GREAT PEOPLE!

I've recently contacted Family Building Society about possibilities for the long-term future (eg extending my mortgage term) and also help with temporary difficulties, and they couldn't have been more helpful. I've been made to feel very welcome each time I have called, and all three people I've spoken with recently - Arounima, Aisha and Erick - have displayed incredible empathy and patience while I waffled on and have given me as much help as I could possibly have wished for. When I was looking to take out a mortgage 2 years ago, Family offered easily the best product for an ex-pat. I recommend Family wholeheartedly. Reviewed on: 28th October 2025

Great, friendly, professional service always

I spoke to Arounima R at great length asking in depth questions, FBS are lucky to have her, she was calm, professional and detailed. I miss the old school style service that FBS still have, highly recommend them. Reviewed on: 22nd October 2025
