Great customer service.

It was refreshing to make a call and not hear a recorded message of "We are currently receiving a high volume of calls at the moment" Very shortly after ringing I got to speak to someone (I think the ladies name was Sumaya - I hope I've spelt that correctly!) Anyway, the service was first class: thank you. Reviewed on: 21st March 2024

So far so good.

So far so good. Identity not yet verified. Should have asked for third address in last three years, had been living there for 18 years then sold and went into rented property. Only bought my new home in December 2023 Reviewed on: 19th March 2024

You take too long to get to talk about what I am 'phoning about. The last time I had 12 questions before I could start. Then today you've sent me by post a statement of this month's transactions. It co-incides with my notes, but why is'nt it TOTALLED? No total shown! Reviewed on: 19th March 2024

I have found the process of registering very unreliable and am losing confidence that the Society will deal with my finances much better. Reviewed on: 19th March 2024

Reply from Family Building Society Dear Maximilian, Thank you for your comments. We are sorry to hear that you found the registration process frustrating. We are currently investing in new technology and infrastructure, and we are always looking at ways in which to improve our service to customers. However, we need specific IT solutions which take time and investment, and as a smaller society we have to weigh up the costs and benefits. We do have a dedicated Online Support Team, (03300 243406), who are always pleased to help with any online issues. Your feedback is appreciated and has been passed to the relevant department for their consideration. Kind regards Family B Response date: 1st May 2024
