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

Whilst I have no issue with the daily withdrawal limit of £25,000 on some savings accounts, I do not understand why this should apply to internal transfers where there is no money leaving FBS. Reviewed on: 31st October 2026

Reply from Family Building Society Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review. We appreciate your point and understand why a limit on transfers between Family Building Society accounts may seem unnecessary, as the funds remain within the Society. The withdrawal limit is applied consistently across eligible accounts for operational and security reasons, helping us manage transactions safely and effectively. We continually review our services and customer feedback, and your comments have been noted and shared with the relevant team for consideration. Response date: 4th November 2026
