ISA Deposit

I made a deposit into my ISA but the money did not appear in my account. I telephoned FBS to enquire as to it's whereabouts. It took just over 5 minutes to get through, but once I did, my problem was resolved very quickly and in a very lovely manner. Turns out I had miscalculated the amount I was able to pay in and I had exceeded the limit, so my money was safe, but being returned to me. Although it was my mistake, Lisa remained polite and courteous, and I felt like nothing was too much trouble for her. Thank you. Reviewed on: 19th March 2026

On-line account lock out

Having entered 3 consecutive incorrect log-in details, I was 'locked out' of my account, and to my delight, Tracy Rogers, Family Service Team, came to my rescue and so wonderfully assisted me getting back on track !! % star service +. Given that financial fraud is now a part of every day life, it is reassuring that I can rely my Family Building Society to keep me safe !! Thank you once again Tracy - and all the best for the future. Reviewed on: 16th March 2026
