Review of the Family Building Society, Savings:

Awful website to log in

First phone call 27/05/25 staff helpful but phone line terrible 3 second time delay between conversation, I am deaf and it was a very difficult call problem not resolved. Next phone call today again staff helpful managed to reset account then tried to log on with e mail and could not. Was also sent via e mail a new user name which again did not work. Will have to go into Epsom branch so I can access my account to close it down. I cannot cope with this hassle every time I try to log in and I’ve never had problems with Cambridge, Nationwide, Halifax, Coventry ,Santander accounts. Also your only base in Epsom can’t even be bothered to instil a Hearing Loop system which I think is discrimination Reviewed on: 28th May 2025

Donnika provided Exemplary telephone service on first day of your new customer Verification system rapidly building rapport and manoeuvring the technicalities of the system while simultaneously advising on a savings matter. Outstanding! Reviewed on: 13th May 2025

As always, the customer service today was excellent.

As always, the customer service today was excellent. Katherine was very helpful and patiently went through everything I needed to solve the issue (mainly, how to access the new site!). My savings account has a very good (comparitive) interest rate but a major reason of staying with the Society is the customer service. The rsponse is always fast (o waiting) and I can trust on receiving a lovely welcome and all the assistance I require. Reviewed on: 12th May 2025
