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

Account status confirmation.

5
I contacted the Building Society today to confirm my account status and to receive advice on accessing my grandchildren's savings accounts. The advisor I spoke to was very helpful and talked me through the process. The advisor was efficient and professional in her approach and had a friendly demean which was much appreciated. My registration status with the Society was confirmed. I was then guided through the process of registering for an online account. From my perspective, the whole process went seamlessly and to my complete satisfaction. The advisor was helpful throughout making it a very satisfactory experience. Reviewed on: 30th December 2025
