Catherine was brilliantly helpful and patient. She helped me to resolve my difficulties, and suggested that she stayed on the line (phone) until I had achieved my goal. I had to phone back, and she was just as brilliant. Reviewed on: 25th April 2025

We dealt with a very pleasant young man who went through security questions. However, my father is very elderly, and was finding it difficult to answer. We could have returned the questionnaire back but had not received an envelope so we had to phone. It would have been useful to have been aware of all of the questions eg national insurance number (which we could not find) beforehand. Otherwise, the gentleman was very kind and professional.

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
