Fair interest rates

Always offer very fair and competitive interest rates. They have accounts that are more interesting than your average building society Reviewed on: 4th June 2023

I have found the process of registering very unreliable and am losing confidence that the Society will deal with my finances much better. Reviewed on: 19th March 2024

Reply from Family Building Society Dear Maximilian, Thank you for your comments. We are sorry to hear that you found the registration process frustrating. We are currently investing in new technology and infrastructure, and we are always looking at ways in which to improve our service to customers. However, we need specific IT solutions which take time and investment, and as a smaller society we have to weigh up the costs and benefits. We do have a dedicated Online Support Team, (03300 243406), who are always pleased to help with any online issues. Your feedback is appreciated and has been passed to the relevant department for their consideration. Kind regards Family B Response date: 1st May 2024
