FBS have made it extremely difficult to set up a jisa for my son - I now only know it has been set up because I phoned to enquire. Money has been paid in to test before the full 11k is transferred and I cannot find out if the trial amount has arrived !It's like the stone age! Reviewed on: 14th February 2026

Reply from Family Building Society Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear about your experience. We understand how frustrating it must have been not being able to easily confirm that your son’s ISA was set up. We appreciate your concern about not being able to see the initial deposit before transferring the additional £11,000. Your feedback is valuable and helps us improve our processes and communication. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. Response date: 17th February 2026
