Difficult to find the branch .

Difficult to find the branch at Ashley centre. You might add more detail about where it is on the website. And when arriving to set up the account it would be very useful if the assistant could say his long the settings up is going to take. Reviewed on: 15th December 2025

Excellent phone call experience

I called and spoke to Messiah Black. I explained that I could not access my online account. She was very helpful and knowledgeable. She walked me through re-registering for the account. Her instructions were clear and she was very patient. I also gave her instructions for a maturing account. Reviewed on: 9th December 2025

An excellent response to my issue

My call was picked up really quickly. I rang because I was locked out of my account. The chap I spoke too was very friendly and reassuring, and they helped me get back in. I was impressed with their patience, and because they stayed on the phone to lead me through the process. Reviewed on: 8th December 2025

Excellent customer service

I was very pleased with the help provided by the Family Building Society today. Your colleague answered all my questions and was very polite and helpful at all times.

Possibly the worst website of any financial institution that I have ever encountered. The switch from NCBS to Family website does not seem to have improved things at all. Savings interest rates are okay. Nothing else. Reviewed on: 1st December 2025

Nicole, who dealt with my request to pass on my savings maturity instructions, was very efficient and pleasant. It was a much simpler process over the phone than filling in the forms and posting them. Reviewed on: 27th November 2025
