Review of the Family Building Society, Savings:

Post Script to my review of 16 April 25

The comments in my review of the 16 April 25 apply equally to both members of the 'online support team' namely 'Ali' (telephone contact 16/04/25) and 'Dyllan' (telephone contact 11/04/25). Reviewed on: 5th May 2025

Matured Bond

Encouraged to use online service. Used the service to give bond maturity instructions. Received an email confirming receipt. Maturity date came and went and nothing happened. Eventually spoke to a human who said that they hadn’t received instructions!! Assured me that it would be dealt with immediately. Nothing happened!! Sent two emails today and got an automated reply to say they were very busy!! Still awaiting return of my investment. I was initially going to re-invest but have lost all confidence in this institution - very unimpressed! Reviewed on: 6th June 2025

Great service

Answered quickly and resolved issue without hassle. Friendly service. Reviewed on: 6th June 2025

Spoke with Lisa Adams who was very helpful.

Spoke with Lisa Adams when I needed to transfer funds, as always it was quick and easy to do. Lisa was very helpful, pleasant and professional. Note: Usually they answer the phone quickly, today not so and I eventually opted for a call back, which was ok, except it was then too late for the funds to credited to my bank a/c that day, which being a Thursday means they might not be there until Monday! Hopefully this will not lead to being overdrawn. So, please could there be more people to answer phones in future (It's not usually a problem) Reviewed on: 6th June 2025

General Enquiry

I requested a call back to obtain some information and help. I received the call back as stated and a very helpful member of the team called Aimee assisted me with my enquiry. Reviewed on: 4th June 2025

Outstanding, Patient Support from Dyllan Wright

From the moment I first got in touch, Dyllan Wright was outstanding. He was warm, courteous and patient, taking time to understand my situation and explain every option in plain English. Throughout the process he kept me updated, checked I was comfortable with each step, and made what could have been complicated feel straightforward. It’s clear he cares about customers and takes real pride in his work. Thanks to Dyllan, I feel fully informed and very confident in my decision. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Family Building Society after this experience. Reviewed on: 4th June 2025

Bond maturity decision

It took a little time to get through on the phone, however, Ellissa Agodi was excellent when I got an answer. She was very polite and clear and informed me of my options regarding my bond maturity. She then processed this quickly and answered any other queries I had. Reviewed on: 3rd June 2025
