Your Agent listened attentively to my concern, understood exactly what was required, and stayed on the phone whilst I logged on to my account where he helped me to sort out my issue. I could not have wished for more. Superb customer care. Reviewed on: 25th February 2026

This is the worst online bank I have ever used. In almost a year, I have only been able to log in successfully once. Next time I go in I need to reregister or get told my username has changed and then the account is always blocked. Thankfully I was only trying it out for a year and that year is nearly over.

FBS have made it extremely difficult to set up a jisa for my son - I now only know it has been set up because I phoned to enquire. Money has been paid in to test before the full 11k is transferred and I cannot find out if the trial amount has arrived !It's like the stone age! Reviewed on: 14th February 2026
Reply from Family Building Society Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear about your experience. We understand how frustrating it must have been not being able to easily confirm that your son’s ISA was set up. We appreciate your concern about not being able to see the initial deposit before transferring the additional £11,000. Your feedback is valuable and helps us improve our processes and communication. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. Response date: 17th February 2026
