Family BS among the Best

Being with several Building Societies, Family BS ranks among the best: Very informative, good interest rates and customer service. Only criticism is that they send a paper annual statement instead of by email or on the web site. Reviewed on: 30th October 2025

Your feedback regarding annual paper statements has been passed on to the relevant team to support ongoing improvements to our services.

Open an account.

Went in to the branch to open an account. The assistant gave me the relevant documents to fill in and had crossed out the parts which did not relate to my application, thus saving my time. Passed the documents back, checks were made and I had the account I required. Everything went smoothly in and out less than 20 minutes. Reviewed on: 28th October 2025

Opening a Market tracker savings account

"FAMILY" sums up the service offered.

I am a new "saver" with Family Building Society. Elderly and prone to pushing wrong buttons, I have had nothing but the best and most courteous of help, both written and verbal from The Family Service Team (NEW/AC/RTN/ID) Reviewed on: 21st October 2025
