Review of the Family Building Society, Savings:

Awful website to log in

First phone call 27/05/25 staff helpful but phone line terrible 3 second time delay between conversation, I am deaf and it was a very difficult call problem not resolved. Next phone call today again staff helpful managed to reset account then tried to log on with e mail and could not. Was also sent via e mail a new user name which again did not work. Will have to go into Epsom branch so I can access my account to close it down. I cannot cope with this hassle every time I try to log in and I’ve never had problems with Cambridge, Nationwide, Halifax, Coventry ,Santander accounts. Also your only base in Epsom can’t even be bothered to instil a Hearing Loop system which I think is discrimination Reviewed on: 28th May 2025

Open an account.

Went in to the branch to open an account. The assistant gave me the relevant documents to fill in and had crossed out the parts which did not relate to my application, thus saving my time. Passed the documents back, checks were made and I had the account I required. Everything went smoothly in and out less than 20 minutes. Reviewed on: 28th October 2025

Opening a Market tracker savings account

I opened the market tracker savings account online but had to go into the branch to transfer money into it from my branch saver. I was treated very well as is usual in that branch. Reviewed on: 25th October 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
