Review of the Family Building Society, Savings:

Issues setting up online Acc - But sorted-Thanks .

3
Had issues setting up an online Acc. But, staff were very helpful. Avoid phoning them towards 4:30pm (was 8th in the queue) as lines close at 4:30pm (the queue just hang up). But when you eventually get to speak to staff, they are exceptionally helpful and nothing was too much bother. More to the point, matters were sorted and I feel a happy customer. I have only been an account holder for a few days. Hopefully things will continue in a postive way. Reviewed on: 28th May 2025

"FAMILY" sums up the service offered.

I am a new "saver" with Family Building Society. Elderly and prone to pushing wrong buttons, I have had nothing but the best and most courteous of help, both written and verbal from The Family Service Team (NEW/AC/RTN/ID) Reviewed on: 21st October 2025

I am treated as a valued customer in the Branch .

I am treated as a valued customer in the Branch which is unheard of in a Bank today. I do business with several Banks and I am ALWAYS made to feel a nuisance for not using the internet to carry out any transactions. Family Building Society make it clear that help in-branch is always an option and I value the face to face availability at times. My husband feels the same.. Reviewed on: 13th October 2025
