Review of the Family Building Society, Savings:

Matured Bond

Encouraged to use online service. Used the service to give bond maturity instructions. Received an email confirming receipt. Maturity date came and went and nothing happened. Eventually spoke to a human who said that they hadn’t received instructions!! Assured me that it would be dealt with immediately. Nothing happened!! Sent two emails today and got an automated reply to say they were very busy!! Still awaiting return of my investment. I was initially going to re-invest but have lost all confidence in this institution - very unimpressed! Reviewed on: 6th June 2025

Reply from Family Building Society Thank you for your feedback and we’re very sorry for the inconvenience you’ve experienced following the recent maturity of your bond. We understand how frustrating this must have been and have shared your comments with the appropriate team. While we’re pleased to hear that you have now received your funds, this situation does not reflect the standard of service we aim to provide. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Kind regards, Family Building Society. Response date: 11th June 2025

"FAMILY" sums up the service offered.

I am a new "saver" with Family Building Society. Elderly and prone to pushing wrong buttons, I have had nothing but the best and most courteous of help, both written and verbal from The Family Service Team (NEW/AC/RTN/ID) Reviewed on: 21st October 2025

Excellent Customer Service!

Lisa Adams, the Customer Service representative I spoke to, was very polite, helpful and attentive throughout the phone call, which was to arrange what I wanted to do with a savings bond due to mature next week. Reviewed on: 21st October 2025
