Review of the Family Building Society, Savings:

Matured Bond

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

I was dealt with by Katherine Ambrose. She handled my request in a friendly, helpful and professional manner. In my experience it was way beyond that which I have come to expect in this era. Reviewed on: 27th April 2025

1st Class Service

During my recent telephone call I received all of the information that I needed to help me proceed. The advisor (Catherine Croucher) provided a very friendly, efficient service & was easy to deal with. Apart from above, Catherine went 'above & beyond' when early on in the tel call - the line was cut off (probably my mob). When she tried to call back & couldn't get through - she made a second attempt to call my alternative landline number (which must have been on record) & finally managed to re-connect with me. This was outstanding service & much appreciated. Reviewed on: 26th April 2025

Catherine was brilliantly helpful and patient. She helped me to resolve my difficulties, and suggested that she stayed on the line (phone) until I had achieved my goal. I had to phone back, and she was just as brilliant. Reviewed on: 25th April 2025
