World beater rates

The society offers excellent rates with some additional benefits. Customer service both via phone and in branch is most attentive. Reviewed on: 29th November 2024

Customer service has been excellent through out. Every time I have need to ring up because I need to ask a question they have taken time to explain in simple English and finish asking me if I am happy with the answer or if they need to explain it another way. couldn't ask for more thanks.

Excellent

The service from David Hobbs from Family BS has been amazing. I have had many accounts with many banks and building societies but nothing has been quite like the service that I received from you. You chased up what was happening to my money and called me back several times to update me. Really great service. I am so impressed that I have told my husband as well to open an account on Family BS. Reviewed on: 25th November 2024

I am delighted by the fantastic service

I contacted by phone Family BS on thursday and Friday 21st and 22nd November 2024. Both ladies whom dealt with my calls were fantastic, I am pleased to say that the nature of my 2 calls were dealt with in the most polite and professional manner I was in fact so impressed that after my bond matured I re invested again into a new savings account with the Family BS. Keep up the fantastic service that the telephone operators provide I am really pleased with their way of dealing with queries. A brilliant experience which in this day and age is most refreshing.

Instructions confirmation lacking

Telephone staff are polite, helpful and clear. My one criticism is: having used the phone-in system to give my ISA reinvestment instructions, I did not receive any confirmation by email or post. This was worrying and I had to phone again on the day of maturity to check that my instructions were going to be carried out. A simple email would have been sufficient. Reviewed on: 21st November 2024

Reply from Family Building Society Hi Thank you for your comments and I am sorry that you were worried about not receiving confirmation of your ISA maturity instructions. Unless specifically requested, we don’t confirm instructions upon receipt, as we send out a new opening certificate as confirmation once the ISA has matured & been reinvested. However we appreciate your feedback, and your comments have been passed to the relevant department for their consideration. I am pleased to hear that you found our staff polite and helpful. Thank you for saving with us. Kind regards Response date: 21st November 2024
