Review of the Family Building Society, Savings:

No fuss ISAs

I was fed up with banks changing the ISA rate after the initial year and giving derisory rates. It was such a fiddle to change the provider. The Family Building Society market tracker ISA gives a reasonable rate and saves constantly swapping around. You could get a slightly better rate if you are inclined to shop around, but there's not much in it. ( Disclosure: I also do some work for the FBS.) Reviewed on: 20th December 2017

Easy and friendly customer service

I was locked out of my account and called to get it unlocked. It was easy to do and the lady (I forget her name) was patient and waited on the call until I was able to get back in. The whole thing was pretty quick. Reviewed on: 11th November 2025
