Review of the Family Building Society, Savings:

Awful website to log in

1
First phone call 27/05/25 staff helpful but phone line terrible 3 second time delay between conversation, I am deaf and it was a very difficult call problem not resolved. Next phone call today again staff helpful managed to reset account then tried to log on with e mail and could not. Was also sent via e mail a new user name which again did not work. Will have to go into Epsom branch so I can access my account to close it down. I cannot cope with this hassle every time I try to log in and I’ve never had problems with Cambridge, Nationwide, Halifax, Coventry ,Santander accounts. Also your only base in Epsom can’t even be bothered to instil a Hearing Loop system which I think is discrimination Reviewed on: 28th May 2025

I am treated as a valued customer in the Branch .

I am treated as a valued customer in the Branch which is unheard of in a Bank today. I do business with several Banks and I am ALWAYS made to feel a nuisance for not using the internet to carry out any transactions. Family Building Society make it clear that help in-branch is always an option and I value the face to face availability at times. My husband feels the same.. Reviewed on: 13th October 2025
