Review of the Family Building Society, Savings:

Very Helpful Customer Service Team.

Very helpful customer service team. The newly overhauled website is much more user-friendly. One tip: please show the customer their password when logging in as other companies do, thank you. Reviewed on: 15th May 2025

Very helpful customer telephone support

Very helpful customer telephone support Reviewed on: 3rd September 2025

Very helpful and understanding

Donnika was very helpful and understanding of the reason for my call, and she took immediate action to sort out the steps needed to get me back on my online account and open my account. Her promptness and professional approach with the help I needed made the experience very satisfactory for me; thank you Donnika. Reviewed on: 2nd September 2025

Experience of Customer Service call

was locked out of account, and needed to phone up to be unlocked. Lisa Adams was very good, and restored my account. The reason for a 3 star rating was not her service, but the 23minute wait to get through on the phone Reviewed on: 2nd September 2025

Steph McGrath performance.

Steph was extremely helpful being clear, positive, patient and precise. I am 82 and find matters sometimes a little difficult in understanding. With Steph she was so lovely and patient whilst I found the information she required to further my request. Reviewed on: 2nd September 2025

Very long wait time :(

I had been locked out of my account after incorrectly inputting my password in three times and I can’t get through to your main tel number due to my mobile network Spend Cap as your line will be a high charge, so I found a tel to your mortgage department who kindly out me through to your main call centre, but I was left on hold for over an hour, so very annoyed! I called your mortgage department back and explained how long I’d been left on hold and the chap I spoke to was AMAZING and said he would try to help rest my login, which he did and I was so grateful, as I know it wasn’t his main job remit! So, a 0/10 for customer service due to a ridiculous wait time, but a 10/10 for the chap in Mortgages who went ravine and beyond to help me, rather than out me through to a never ending telephone loop!
