Great Customer Service for savings

I had a query about opening a new savings account so rang Customer Service. Amazed to be put through very quickly. My query was dealt with by Aimee in a very efficient and friendly way. Great to not have to waste time with AI as is now normally the case with banks. Highly recommend Family B S . Reviewed on: 31st January 2024

Family Building Society was a "no brainer" .

Set up Family Building Society account yesterday, was very easy to follow instructions. The first deposit of £100 immediately showed up on my new account which was very reassuring , just used my bank card. Once I had been verified and sent the secure code which was emailed to me, all account features were available including withdrawing money. Really impressed with the security checks as I don't want anyone else to get my money! Have transferred most of current account money , even "rainy day money" as my bank only offers 0.1% on my current account. So being with the Family Building Society is a "no brainer" at 5.04%! Had a query today and requested a "call back" and Jacob rang me a few hours later, brilliant customer service. I can't even ring my bank these days. Thanks again to the FBS team for making the experience so good! Reviewed on: 23rd January 2024

Good customer service & competitive interest rates.

I opened a savings account with the Family Building Society as it is a name I know and the interest rate was quite good. Since then, the interest rate has risen and is now even more competitive, so they score well on value for money and competitiveness. However it is in the area of Customer Service that they score highly, being both very friendly and also very helpful. I spoke to Aaron today and he was able to deal with my questions quickly and knowledgably. The online presence of The Family Building Society makes it accessible to anyone, wherever they are, but they also have branches in Surrey and I would guess the personal service for those who can get to the branches will be no less rewarding than my telephone interaction today with Aaron.
