Good interest while it lasts, and good customer service

I've been with Family BS for a few years. They are one of several banks/building societies who regularly offer competitive interest rates. Sadly, as with all banks, you have to keep an eye for interest rates later being lowered. Particularly disappointing that the windfall bond has recently become a lot less attractive. Customer service is good - It's refreshing to get through reasonably quickly by phone and for me it's a big help to get a customer services agent with a British accent as I really struggle with accents. However the customer service line would ideally be open for longer as sometimes you need help outside of office hours. Reviewed on: 17th April 2025

Very helpful and polite support

Excellent Service

Had occasion to open a Fixed Rate Bond this morning. Lisa could not have been more helpful in talking me through the process. Such quality ‘front of office’ staff members gives one an assurance that is most needed in today’s financial climate. Thanks Lisa Reviewed on: 16th April 2025

Great telephone service

I was given the opportunity to request a call back, which worked. In order for my request to be completed I needed to open a new account online - Gill stayed on the line whilst I did that and was polite and efficient throughout. Reviewed on: 16th April 2025
