Review of the Family Building Society, Savings:

Satisfied Saver

I managed to lock my self out of my account, but the help desk person talked me through the new log in process so I was able to carry on as normal Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Excellent building society.

I visited the branch today and as always had great service. On this occasion i was helped by Alexis Osborne. I have had an account with this society for very many years- probably more than 30- and it’s by far the best building society I’ve ever used in every way but particularly in respect of the branch staff who are always knowledgeable and very helpful. We are lucky to have this society in Epsom. Reviewed on: 27th May 2025

Received an email advising I'd been sent a message so should log into my a/c as I'm trying to set up a new joint savings a/c with my husband. I entered the appropriate letters from my memorable word but the system didn't a/c and said my a/c had been locked so I should phone. I was 10th caller in the queue. Held on for over 30 mins then finally selected the option to receive a call back around 16:10 on 27/05. At 16:45 tried phoning again as I'd still not received a call back only to get recorded message the office was now closed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Therefore customer service 0/10 !!!!!!!!!!!!!

No hassle

It was easy to open my account. They have provided regular information without me being bombarded with emails. I have found it easy to contact them and the call back system is efficient. Reviewed on: 27th May 2025

Telephone customer service

14 minute wait for my call this morning but my request was dealt with very efficiently and courteously Reviewed on: 27th May 2025

Living in the past

Much too reliant on paper and snail mail. Need to join the 21st century and provide the ability to transfer Cash ISAs electronically, provide documents and newsletters digitally in pdf format. Reviewed on: 25th May 2025

It is a nightmare creating an online account, your security onboarding is terrible compared to most of your rivals. I have £85k ready to invest and have given up Reviewed on: 25th May 2025

Great service setting up new platform.

Change to online platform was a problem but great help from Customer Services lady resolved the issue. Most helpful. When signing into the new platform it gives the option to use customer ID or email address. It turns out that only Customer ID will work. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
