The staff both in branch and on the telepohne are very helpful, patient and knowledgeable. It would however, be a great advantage to be able to see your password as you type it so that you could spot errors and rectify them. It can be time consuming if you have made an error e.g. typed a capital letter by mistake but you do not know what the error is. The savings rates are however very competitive and hard to beat!

Difficuly logging in

I called today as I was having difficulty logging in. The customer services adviser was very patient and helpful. She walked me through the process and I actually had to re-register as the system had updated since I last logged in and my password needed changing. Thank you for making it easy. Just need to wait for verification code through the post and will be sorted Reviewed on: 12th January 2026

I have had to call the FBS to query the investment change I had requested. The renewal document received did not include the change requested. However, was assured by telephone call that the change had been recorded as requested. I was completely satisfied with the response provided. Reviewed on: 5th January 2026
