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

Please unsubscribe me from emails. [Email address removed by Smart Money People]. Where is the link to do this??? Reviewed on: 2nd August 2019
Reply from Family Building Society Hello Mrs Dodd, thank you for getting in touch. I'm sorry you no longer want to receive marketing emails from us. I have unsubscribed you from those emails now. We have to send you servicing emails that relate to the savings accounts you hold with us, so you will still receive these. If you have any further questions, please call our Family Service Team on 03330 140144. Many thanks, Vicky Response date: 6th August 2019
