Safe and Stable

Although the interest is not very much, what I like about FBS is that my money is safe. Information on the site is well balanced and you are able to decide for yourself what products you want to put your money into. Also, the website is quite user friendly, plus there is always a chance you could win in the monthly draws! Reviewed on: 26th July 2019

I was looking for a suitable savings account, that offered both a great rate, full FSCS cover, easy access and online management and the one from Family Building Society hit all the right notes. I'm so pleased with this account. Reviewed on: 26th July 2019

Innovative product

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

Very friendly and helpful- went the extra mile with their support

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
