Review of the Family Building Society, Savings:

Windfall bond

Get the feeling that Windfall bond holders are second class savers, why not let us know each month, even if we have not won, by email? Reviewed on: 29th January 2019

Reply from Family Building Society Thank you for your question regarding the Windfall Bond. The Windfall Bond draw is on 10th of the month and winners are notified within 10 days of the draw. We are required to verify the winning account holders before we can publish their information. We aim to have our winners list published on our website as soon as all account holders are verified, and some months this process can be quicker than others. However, your feedback is appreciated and I have passed your comments regarding e-mail notification to the relevant team, so that they can consider any improvements to our communications in this regard. If you need any further help, please email [email protected] or call our Family Service Team on 03330 140144. Thanks, Vicky Response date: 5th February 2019

Outstanding, Patient Support from Dyllan Wright

From the moment I first got in touch, Dyllan Wright was outstanding. He was warm, courteous and patient, taking time to understand my situation and explain every option in plain English. Throughout the process he kept me updated, checked I was comfortable with each step, and made what could have been complicated feel straightforward. It’s clear he cares about customers and takes real pride in his work. Thanks to Dyllan, I feel fully informed and very confident in my decision. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Family Building Society after this experience. Reviewed on: 4th June 2025

Bond maturity decision

It took a little time to get through on the phone, however, Ellissa Agodi was excellent when I got an answer. She was very polite and clear and informed me of my options regarding my bond maturity. She then processed this quickly and answered any other queries I had. Reviewed on: 3rd June 2025

Long wait but good end result

The wait to be put through to an assistant was far too long. Unfortunately this is the way many businesses are going these days, but this does not make the situation acceptable. Once I got through to an assistant, the lady was very knowledgeable and helpful and was also well spoken. She resolved my query satisfactorily. Reviewed on: 3rd June 2025

Thank you Ellissa Agodi!

Thank you Ellissa Agodi for all your courtesy, help and explanations this morning. I was beginning to despair of ever getting through on the phone as I tried three times and had to give up after 20 minutes each time until I finally got out though to Ellissa, who was brilliant at helping me out!
