Review of the Family Building Society, Savings:

savings account

Interest rate is not too bad and customer service ok Reviewed on: 13th August 2023

Reply from Family Building Society Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. Response date: 14th August 2023

Approachable by phone and helpful

As more high-street banks close, being able to talk to a real person not a bot, and without waiting forever is increasingly important. Vital when it involves money. The FBS can be reached by phone and the operatives are polite and efficient. Gill helped me do what I wanted to do today. Reviewed on: 16th June 2023
