A fast response to my enquiries, which were answered comprehensively. The ability to get through on a phone line without stepping into a maze of menu options was quite delightful. You could call it almost a VIP experience.. Reviewed on: 15th February 2024

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
