Great to find a Building Society who creates original saving schemes. In these days of pathetic savings rates they have the 'Windfall Bond' which gives a chance of winning a prize! Reviewed on: 26th July 2019

They were extremely helpful when I was setting up a fixed term savings account and for some inexplicable reason I was having trouble confirming my id. Due to their assistance I was able to sort out the difficulty which had been plaguing me for ages. Thank you Family Building Society. Reviewed on: 26th July 2019

I'm not really keen on online accounts but to get anything near a decent % interest it's the way to go. In my experience the people I've dealt with at F.B.S. have been excellent and very helpful. Reviewed on: 26th July 2019

I took out what I thought was 4 windfall bonds but put all the money in one bond by mistake. The error was immediately rectified and they couldn't have been more helpful Reviewed on: 26th July 2019

Your online access is really very difficult. I am still not able to access my online account. E.g. promised a verification code but none was sent. Reviewed on: 19th July 2019
