I am treated as a valued customer in the Branch .

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

Too busy !

Too busy to answer phone, too busy to answer emails, too busy to deal with enquiry, will try and get back to you in about 4 days ! Could not get details or application enquiry off the website. This was an active investment enquiry ! Reviewed on: 10th October 2025

Reply from Family Building Society We completely understand how frustrating it must have been to wait several days for a response, especially when you were making an active investment inquiry. we are currently experiencing an exceptionally high volume of calls, which has meant longer response times than usual, we have had some very competitive deposit products on the market, and this has resulted in many additional calls. As our phone lines have been particularly busy, we do offer a callback feature that allows you to keep your place in the queue without staying on the line. We’re currently reviewing our response processes to ensure that inquiries are handled promptly and efficiently. We’re sorry you had difficulty accessing the application details through our website. We’re investigating this to make sure information is clear and easier to find. Response date: 17th October 2025
