Review of the Family Building Society, Savings:

Matured Bond

1
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

The comments in my review of the 16 April 25 apply equally to both members of the 'online support team' namely 'Ali' (telephone contact 16/04/25) and 'Dyllan' (telephone contact 11/04/25). Reviewed on: 5th May 2025

Georgia understood my problem and rectified it promptly. I had inadvertently transferred money online to my mortgage account when it should have gone to my savings account. Georgia corrected this error for me. Reviewed on: 30th April 2025
