Review of the Family Building Society, Savings:

Matured Bond

Encouraged to use online service. Used the service to give bond maturity instructions. Received an email confirming receipt. Maturity date came and went and nothing happened. Eventually spoke to a human who said that they hadn’t received instructions!! Assured me that it would be dealt with immediately. Nothing happened!! Sent two emails today and got an automated reply to say they were very busy!! Still awaiting return of my investment. I was initially going to re-invest but have lost all confidence in this institution - very unimpressed! Reviewed on: 6th June 2025

Reply from Family Building Society Thank you for your feedback and we’re very sorry for the inconvenience you’ve experienced following the recent maturity of your bond. We understand how frustrating this must have been and have shared your comments with the appropriate team. While we’re pleased to hear that you have now received your funds, this situation does not reflect the standard of service we aim to provide. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Kind regards, Family Building Society. Response date: 11th June 2025

Katherine B was incredibly patient, explaining every step of the process. My husband and I were trying to change our accounts to your new system but it was proving extremely difficult every step of the way. Although it took a very long time to achieve it was definitely something we could not have achieved without Katherine’s persistence. She had a lovely manner on the phone and nothing was too much trouble. She is an asset to your company. Reviewed on: 31st July 2025

Excellent customer service.

The agent (Lisa Adams) who dealt with my enquiry was very helpful, polite, and knowledgeable. She fully understood the nature of the query and dealt with it in a professional manner. The transaction was resolved satisfactorily. Thank you. I have been very pleased with Family building Society and would highly recommend them. Lisa Adams is an excellent ambassador for the company.

ISA savings question

Called with a query about my fixed ISA, which Lisa in Customer Services, explained very well so that someone like me, with little experience of the ISA market, could fully understand! Reviewed on: 29th July 2025
