Darryl was brilliant and helped us through some tricky password and other login issues. We are both in our eighties so useless with technology but he was patient, helpful and empathetic throughout. Well done to him, and thank you. Reviewed on: 11th November 2026

Children's Savings, Branch Move, Statement Info

Being able to open an account for a grandchild is good, and the upper age before the child can access their money is very good. Having maturity dates on statements on fixed term savings would be an improvement. A significant negative for me is the fact the High Street branch has closed. Very inconvenient and likely that my husband and I will move our savings over time. Poorly communicated to customers. Could this have been intentional?? Reviewed on: 11th November 2026

VG Interest rates and service

I found Family Building Society when interest rates were very low and I have remained as a loyal customer. The interest rates are vg. The local building society (the Yorkshire ) closed down, so there is no disadvantage in having only the phone service. Reviewed on: 8th November 2026

Excellent building society to save with.

Not one hitch from opening my account, to routinely servicing my account. That good my wife also opened one - and as a top class econmist that says all you need to know. Top rates and flexibility. Reviewed on: 5th November 2026
