Applying For A New ISA

Despite being a Saver for many years, I could not, online, choose and apply for a 2003/4 new ISA. When on my account and selecting new ISA, it would only offer me one option ???. However, called the help line and delighted with immediate reply and help with advice to resolve. Many Thanks, you have a continued delighted Customer. Reviewed on: 22nd May 2023

Reply from Family Building Society Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're so pleased that your query was resolved quickly! Response date: 23rd May 2023

Good service

Easy to open a new savings account online. Received the good standard of customer service that you would expect from a small mutual society. My only criticism would be the delay between opening online and awaiting for the i.d. checks to be completed before depositing. I understand the requirement for checks but there could have been better communication here to give clarity of when the initial deposit could be made. Reviewed on: 12th May 2023

Reply from Family Building Society Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we're pleased you found our service of good standard, and we take all your comments on board. Response date: 16th May 2023
