Review of the Family Building Society, Savings:

Matured Bond

1

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

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
