Review of the Family Building Society, Savings:

Fair interest rates

Always offer very fair and competitive interest rates. They have accounts that are more interesting than your average building society Reviewed on: 4th June 2023

Reply from Family Building Society Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we're so pleased to hear you find our rates are fair and that our accounts are interesting! Response date: 7th June 2023

Off to a great start with Family Building Society!

So much nicer to deal with well informed and engaging staff, looking to fully answer our queries. If Alice is an example of the quality of Family Building Society Staff, our decision to open an account for my wife and I and one for our granddaughter, age d five, is more than well founded.

Dylan was first class in his explanation to all my queries. He was both patient and knowledgeable. Feel greatly reassured and would highly recommend Family B/Society. Reviewed on: 2nd September 2024

Excellent service

Excellent products and service. It would be good if once you have an account or number of accounts with FBS that when you open a new account it recognises and verifies your nominated bank account as if the application process does not verify your account despite it being verified before you have to go through a manual process which dealys matters and can be irritating.
