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

Great Customer Service for savings

I had a query about opening a new savings account so rang Customer Service. Amazed to be put through very quickly. My query was dealt with by Aimee in a very efficient and friendly way. Great to not have to waste time with AI as is now normally the case with banks. Highly recommend Family B S . Reviewed on: 31st January 2024

Family Building Society was a "no brainer" .

Set up Family Building Society account yesterday, was very easy to follow instructions. The first deposit of £100 immediately showed up on my new account which was very reassuring , just used my bank card. Once I had been verified and sent the secure code which was emailed to me, all account features were available including withdrawing money. Really impressed with the security checks as I don't want anyone else to get my money! Have transferred most of current account money , even "rainy day money" as my bank only offers 0.1% on my current account. So being with the Family Building Society is a "no brainer" at 5.04%! Had a query today and requested a "call back" and Jacob rang me a few hours later, brilliant customer service. I can't even ring my bank these days. Thanks again to the FBS team for making the experience so good! Reviewed on: 23rd January 2024
