Review of the Family Building Society, Savings:

Taditional Values

I was looking for a well established Building Society with traditional values, excellent customer service, very good interest rates and products to place my life savings after I retired. Not only did they tick all the boxes they exceeded my expectations! Reviewed on: 28th November 2018

Information to savers

Whilst on the whole I am pleased with the customer service and interest rates offered by the Society I feel there is one major improvement that could be offered to existing savers:- Why can't emails be sent out when there are changes to the Society's interest rates or new accounts introduced ? Reviewed on: 1st April 2025

Full marks to Family Building Society

I was very satisfied with the service that I received from the Customer Services Team when I wished to transfer my funds to an updated Fixed Savings Bond. My request was dealt with in a professional and proficient manner, both on the telephone and online. Thank you very much Family Building Society for your help. Reviewed on: 27th March 2025

Gods all round service

I was happy with my savings account and the service provided Reviewed on: 26th March 2025

Seeking reassurance

I phoned to reassure myself that I had correctly transferred money to my newly set up ISA account. Your colleague whose name I sadly did not catch was so very helpful and confirmed that the money is now in my ISA account. Reviewed on: 25th March 2025

We only have the one account (Windfall Bond) but feel it is really good value as it not only has a good interest rate but it also enters all investors into a monthly draw which (I think) gives a lot better chance of winning than other similar types of investments. Reviewed on: 21st March 2025

Account Opening Enquiry

I had a query about opening an account on behalf of a relative. It was slightly complex but was handled very efficiently by Donnika. The branch staff had also been very pleasant and helpful. Also the ‘phone was answered very promptly. Reviewed on: 21st March 2025
