Review of the Family Building Society, Savings:

Issues setting up online Acc - But sorted-Thanks .

Had issues setting up an online Acc. But, staff were very helpful. Avoid phoning them towards 4:30pm (was 8th in the queue) as lines close at 4:30pm (the queue just hang up). But when you eventually get to speak to staff, they are exceptionally helpful and nothing was too much bother. More to the point, matters were sorted and I feel a happy customer. I have only been an account holder for a few days. Hopefully things will continue in a postive way. Reviewed on: 28th May 2025

One-Time Passcode

My only complaint is that occasionally the One-Time Passcode text does not come through to my Mobile phone in time and on those occasions I would like to be able to request an automated call to my Home phone. It would be useful to have that choice at the time of logging in. Reviewed on: 5th October 2025

Helpful Customer Service

I had to contact FBS by phone as the information I needed wasn't on the website. The call was answered quickly and Lisa answered my query immediately. She also took the time to guide me to the relevant page on the website to download the relevant form Reviewed on: 3rd October 2025
