Review of the Family Building Society, Savings:

No fuss ISAs

I was fed up with banks changing the ISA rate after the initial year and giving derisory rates. It was such a fiddle to change the provider. The Family Building Society market tracker ISA gives a reasonable rate and saves constantly swapping around. You could get a slightly better rate if you are inclined to shop around, but there's not much in it. ( Disclosure: I also do some work for the FBS.) Reviewed on: 20th December 2017

Super-efficient help line

My call was dealt with efficiently. I was not even put on hold. Nicole checked the issue was resolved and confirmed there were no outstanding issues or queries. I could not expect any better resolution which is why I have scored Family BS's help line top marks.. Thank you! Reviewed on: 21st January 2026

Out of the country when my Bond matures.

I have a fixed term bond which will mature whilst I’m out of the country, so needed to know options available. Lisa Adams answered my call promptly and immediately understood my predicament. She was polite, professional, spoke clearly and obviously understood her subject matter - how refreshing. I decided on my best option which Lisa actioned immediately. Reviewed on: 20th January 2026
