Review of the Family Building Society, Savings:

A grand little Building Society

I hadn't even heard of this Building Society {BS} when a friend recommended the Family BS. I was looking put somewhere to put some money where I could get instant access and a decent rate of interest in these difficult times for savers. The Family BS met that requirement. Opening the account was easy and straight forward and they seem like a decent set of people to deal with. I would recommend them. Reviewed on: 29th January 2019

excellent customer service

Spoke with a very knowledgable and patient lady who helped me reset my access to my account - she was very understanding and didn't rush me through the procedure at all. Reviewed on: 2nd June 2025

Ellissa Agouti deserves a medal.

Ellissa Agouti deserves a medal. She was helping me sign into my account which took over an hour and she was the most patient person I have ever encountered. She was unfazed, uncritical of any mistakes I made. Informed. No problem was too great she didn't complain or get exasperated but continued through to the end. She desderves the hightest praise.

Bank web site unable to recognise a well known high street building society as nominated bank so unable to proceed. On phone helpful but no one on phone or by email could identify what the problem was. Have used same BSoc as nom account so all rather bizarre and did suggest that even if resolved by work around there could be problems in future. Reviewed on: 2nd June 2025

Verification Code

I phoned for my verification code and Donika was very helpful and provided all the details I required. Reviewed on: 30th May 2025

Online Asssistance

I contacted the help desk to unlock my online account following the recent system update. I spoke to Ellissa Agodi who guided me through the process in a very polite, patient and professional manner. At no time did i feel rushed or an inconvenience and she stayed on the call until i had successful completed the re-registering process and had full access to my accounts. She was a credit to the building society and a great example of what customer service should be like. Reviewed on: 29th May 2025
