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

Thank you Ellissa Agodi!

Thank you Ellissa Agodi for all your courtesy, help and explanations this morning. I was beginning to despair of ever getting through on the phone as I tried three times and had to give up after 20 minutes each time until I finally got out though to Ellissa, who was brilliant at helping me out!

excellent customer service

Spoke with a very knowledgable and patient lady who helped me reset my access to my account - she was very understanding and didn't rush me through the procedure at all. Reviewed on: 2nd June 2025

Ellissa Agouti deserves a medal.

Ellissa Agouti deserves a medal. She was helping me sign into my account which took over an hour and she was the most patient person I have ever encountered. She was unfazed, uncritical of any mistakes I made. Informed. No problem was too great she didn't complain or get exasperated but continued through to the end. She desderves the hightest praise.

Bank web site unable to recognise a well known high street building society as nominated bank so unable to proceed. On phone helpful but no one on phone or by email could identify what the problem was. Have used same BSoc as nom account so all rather bizarre and did suggest that even if resolved by work around there could be problems in future. Reviewed on: 2nd June 2025
