Leading interest rates on Cash ISAs

Top rates on interest on Family Building Society's Cash ISAs, innovative products and friendly, helpful staff. Efficient service, quick to respond on the phone and by post. My documents were mailed out quickly and everything was clearly explained, thank you. Reviewed on: 13th April 2020

Windfall Bonds

5
I applied for 2 x Windfall bonds, the process was nice and easy, I am now looking forwards to my first draw. I have other saving products with the society which have helped me greatly with my financial planning, excellent service. Reviewed on: 24th February 2020

Pretty good

Their website works well, although it’s terrible on a phone. The process and application was easy enough and the rates are ok. I think they could be clearer about the steps needed (for example I’m not sure if I need to send them my signature or how). They could be clearer on when the draw happens for the windfall bonds and maybe have a countdown on the website to make it more fun ( like premium bonds do). I liked the touch of adding my family name to the paper header. Reviewed on: 16th February 2020

Great experience opening new account

5
Everything made easy opening a new ISA online by emailing scanned forms; friendly, helpful staff when I called to confirm the account was opened. The whole experience was so much better than with some other financial institutions, I was made to feel that my query was no trouble. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Cut the pay of your senior staff to level commensurate with their responsibilities, i.e. remove their bonuses Reviewed on: 17th January 2020
