Review of the Family Building Society, Savings:

Matured Bond

Encouraged to use online service. Used the service to give bond maturity instructions. Received an email confirming receipt. Maturity date came and went and nothing happened. Eventually spoke to a human who said that they hadn’t received instructions!! Assured me that it would be dealt with immediately. Nothing happened!! Sent two emails today and got an automated reply to say they were very busy!! Still awaiting return of my investment. I was initially going to re-invest but have lost all confidence in this institution - very unimpressed! Reviewed on: 6th June 2025

Reply from Family Building Society Thank you for your feedback and we’re very sorry for the inconvenience you’ve experienced following the recent maturity of your bond. We understand how frustrating this must have been and have shared your comments with the appropriate team. While we’re pleased to hear that you have now received your funds, this situation does not reflect the standard of service we aim to provide. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Kind regards, Family Building Society. Response date: 11th June 2025

Reply from Family Building Society Thank for you for taking the time to leave us your review. We understand that our phone lines have been particularly busy, and we're doing everything we can to assist our customers as quickly as possible. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused. We do offer a call-back service which is especially useful for times when we are busy so that customers don’t have to wait on the line. This facility retains your place in the queue which means that your call-back request is automatically sent to an agent who will make a call out to you, and you don’t have to wait on the phone for your call to be answered. If there’s anything else we can assist you with, please do not hesitate to contact us back. Response date: 16th September 2025
