Great customer care.

My account was locked, some interest had been reinvested which I was expecting to be forwarded to my nominated account, however after a conversation with Donika and security check both problems were resolved in a friendly and professional manner. Reviewed on: 30th September 2025

Slow and inefficient customer service!

My husband and I both tried to open an ISA. Mine was fine as I had been with FBS before so only needed to provide bank account and address verification. My husband needed verified ID so we went to our Licenced conveyancer and paid for certified ID. He was then told by FBS to submit again, which he did. He was then told after another 3 day wait, that our conveyancer was not an authorised person. He is a solicitor by any other name and a commissioner of Oaths - who could be better! My husband is now going elsewhere to invest. I also noticed that although I sent evidence of my address in the form of my bank statement, the paperwork was still sent to my old address which luckily is next door. Very poor customer service. I will not use them again Reviewed on: 27th September 2025

Reply from Family Building Society Regarding your husband’s ID verification, our compliance team must follow strict regulatory requirements about which professionals are authorised to certify documents. We appreciate that your conveyancer is a qualified solicitor and Commissioner for Oaths, and we regret that our communication around this matter was not clearer from the outset. We will review our processes to ensure our guidance on certified ID is more transparent in future. We’re also sorry for the error in sending correspondence to your old address despite receiving your updated details. This is not the level of accuracy or service we aim to provide, and we’re investigating how this occurred to prevent it happening again. Response date: 17th October 2025
