Review of the Family Building Society, Savings:

Awful website to log in

First phone call 27/05/25 staff helpful but phone line terrible 3 second time delay between conversation, I am deaf and it was a very difficult call problem not resolved. Next phone call today again staff helpful managed to reset account then tried to log on with e mail and could not. Was also sent via e mail a new user name which again did not work. Will have to go into Epsom branch so I can access my account to close it down. I cannot cope with this hassle every time I try to log in and I’ve never had problems with Cambridge, Nationwide, Halifax, Coventry ,Santander accounts. Also your only base in Epsom can’t even be bothered to instil a Hearing Loop system which I think is discrimination Reviewed on: 28th May 2025

One-Time Passcode

My only complaint is that occasionally the One-Time Passcode text does not come through to my Mobile phone in time and on those occasions I would like to be able to request an automated call to my Home phone. It would be useful to have that choice at the time of logging in. Reviewed on: 5th October 2025

Helpful Customer Service
