Needs work on telephone system

Your telephone system is antiquated, very poor response and the on hold music repeats every 10 seconds. Really poor. The person who took my call eventually was very good and very professional Reviewed on: 9th July 2026

Family Building Society - Always a good experience.

Contacted FBS in telephone. Spoke to a very courteous, calm, efficient & knowledgable gentleman. I have been a savings customer of FBS for a number of years. Even though I was contacting them to withdraw funds to deposit with a competitor, they were genuine in their sentiment when they said that they hoped I would be back with them again soon. This is typical of their great people. Reviewed on: 3rd July 2026

Reply from Family Building Society Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and share your feedback. We appreciate your comments regarding the age bracket used in the survey. We understand that planning for later-life housing decisions can be relevant before the age of 65, and we recognise your concern that the survey may not fully reflect this. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We have shared your feedback with the survey organisers for their consideration as part of any future review of the survey design.
