Review of the Family Building Society, Savings:

Issues setting up online Acc - But sorted-Thanks .

Had issues setting up an online Acc. But, staff were very helpful. Avoid phoning them towards 4:30pm (was 8th in the queue) as lines close at 4:30pm (the queue just hang up). But when you eventually get to speak to staff, they are exceptionally helpful and nothing was too much bother. More to the point, matters were sorted and I feel a happy customer. I have only been an account holder for a few days. Hopefully things will continue in a postive way. Reviewed on: 28th May 2025

excellent customer service

Spoke with a very knowledgable and patient lady who helped me reset my access to my account - she was very understanding and didn't rush me through the procedure at all. Reviewed on: 2nd June 2025

Ellissa Agouti deserves a medal.

Ellissa Agouti deserves a medal. She was helping me sign into my account which took over an hour and she was the most patient person I have ever encountered. She was unfazed, uncritical of any mistakes I made. Informed. No problem was too great she didn't complain or get exasperated but continued through to the end. She desderves the hightest praise.

Bank web site unable to recognise a well known high street building society as nominated bank so unable to proceed. On phone helpful but no one on phone or by email could identify what the problem was. Have used same BSoc as nom account so all rather bizarre and did suggest that even if resolved by work around there could be problems in future. Reviewed on: 2nd June 2025

Verification Code

Online Asssistance

I contacted the help desk to unlock my online account following the recent system update. I spoke to Ellissa Agodi who guided me through the process in a very polite, patient and professional manner. At no time did i feel rushed or an inconvenience and she stayed on the call until i had successful completed the re-registering process and had full access to my accounts. She was a credit to the building society and a great example of what customer service should be like. Reviewed on: 29th May 2025
