Review of the Family Building Society, Savings:

Great Service

I had a query following the maturity of one of my fixed term products with the Family Building Society. I was answered very quickly from the call queue, and Louise needed to ask a colleague to assist with my query, and promised to phone me back. This she did and the return phone call was made within about an hour. Great service, as always, with the Family BS. Thank you! Reviewed on: 13th October 2023

Reply from Family Building Society Thank you for taking the time to leave us this review, we're pleased you found our service great, and that your query was resolved in the time promised! Response date: 17th October 2023

Long wait but good end result

The wait to be put through to an assistant was far too long. Unfortunately this is the way many businesses are going these days, but this does not make the situation acceptable. Once I got through to an assistant, the lady was very knowledgeable and helpful and was also well spoken. She resolved my query satisfactorily. Reviewed on: 3rd 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

Verification Code

I phoned for my verification code and Donika was very helpful and provided all the details I required. Reviewed on: 30th May 2025
