Lisa Adams was fantastic today in customer services.

Lisa Adams was fantastic today in customer services. I was in total overwhelm as things had gone wrong with funding for buying a house and time was of the essence. She empathised and phoned me back as promised and resolved an issue for me. She was so kind and allowed me time to respond without going on about waiting times. Reviewed on: 3rd September 2025

Such helpful and friendly staff.

A delight to speak to some real people who are so helpful and patient. In particular I should like to thank Stephanie McGrath who has the patience of a saint. She was particularly helpful and understanding when I was struggling with passwords etc. She is a fantastic ambassador for the Family Building Society! 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
