Request for savings info

4
Following info from HMRC I rang to ask for info forwarded to HMRC. I spoke to David who acceded to my request. He was very polite and helpful. Unfortunately the info I received (not from him) was not relevant. A second phone call resolved the matter. Reviewed on: 17th February 2023

Nothing to be improved - I much prefer to do in person even though I am not local. I don't like online only. Reviewed on: 1st February 2023

I have dyscalculia and online banking is very difficult, so not reserving all favourable rates for online only would be very considerate (applies to all banks and building societies). Reviewed on: 1st February 2023

Great customer experience and prompt replies to questions

I invested in a Family Building Society Windfall Bond. Have never heard of the company I did some research and still felt nervous! I am pleased to say I found all interactions prompt, efficient and professional. A mobile friendly webpage would be a useful improvement, that is a minor point. Reviewed on: 14th January 2023

Windfall Bond

3
Bring the WFB back to sizeable investors. Nationwide ran a 12m draw much "fairer" than the FBS bond. Scrap the "Blank Tickets" & alot to your members ! (IF they intend to limit the numbers, then introduce eg. Holders with a minimum of say 2 or 3 to qualify. Another eg. Halifax investors criteria £5k minimum. Reviewed on: 16th December 2022
