Above expectation for service and product

I breezed into your office on a whim on 26 May. The lady I spoke with was on the front foot,. direct and clear and engaged. For ease of use, I find the online Savings service excellent. My wife and I appreciate the warm and personal follow-up letter with Certificate. As a retired former small business owner, I am delighted that you are a small local business and the service and product are to be highly commended Reviewed on: 13th June 2026

Great customer service Phoebe.

i contacted customer services and spoke to Phoebe Hogg, regarding new ISA account numbers and how to set up online banking.Phoebe was extremely helpful, with clear and precise answers and instructions. She was very cheerful and personable, with a ready wit. All my enquiries were concluded to my satisfaction and it was a joy to speak with her on the phone. Well done FBS for employing and training such great staff Reviewed on: 12th June 2026
