Difficulty Closing Savings Account on Maturity

Call Back Service Not as stated. 1st call over a week later when told too & account will now be closed could only say "have a good day" A 2nd call back was a week after that, a joke. Closure papers signed as requested but rejected twice on technicality. Needed to go personally to the branch. I had banked with them since National County Days. Standards very much poorer now.

Family Building Society Review

Don't be fooled by the friendly,cosy name" Family building society" they're just as unaccommodating and ruthless with interest rates as the "big boys". Avoid. Reviewed on: 16th March 2021

Good service

Easy to contact, not just internet accounts, give loyalty rates easy to understand and clearly presented info Reviewed on: 19th February 2021

Lovely company to deal with

I opened a Windfall Bond with this company - they offer a great product and were very helpful and friendly with all my questions prior to and during the application process. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

The Friendly Family Building Socity

I've always found the staff very friendly and helpful. Thanks Reviewed on: 21st January 2021

New-look annual savings summary

I very much dislike this: it means twice as much paper for my records, and the part that gives the actual details doesn't even state the year to which they relate, meaning I'd have to write this in if I tore this off to reduce the strain on my box file. (OK, that's hardly arduous, but a bit more thought would have meant I didn't have to.) Reviewed on: 8th January 2021
