Review of the Family Building Society, Savings:

The personal touch comes to the rescue

I opened an ISA but couldn’t fund it. I got a message that my identity couldn’t be verified, which made no sense to me as I already had an account and had been through the ID verification for that when I opened it. I phoned to query what was going on. The wait to speak to someone was lengthy (I originally got through in minutes , but then was kept on hold for over 30 minutes waiting to speak to the correct team), which was the only downside of my experience. The woman who answered was very pleasant, and after some discussion she informed me that all new accounts required a linked account, and they had been unable to automatically verify the new account at a different bank that I had chosen as my linked account. She was able to rectify this by changing my linked account to the one I used for my other account. Sorted. Reviewed on: 28th May 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

Long wait but good end result

The wait to be put through to an assistant was far too long. Unfortunately this is the way many businesses are going these days, but this does not make the situation acceptable. Once I got through to an assistant, the lady was very knowledgeable and helpful and was also well spoken. She resolved my query satisfactorily. Reviewed on: 3rd June 2025

Thank you Ellissa Agodi!

Thank you Ellissa Agodi for all your courtesy, help and explanations this morning. I was beginning to despair of ever getting through on the phone as I tried three times and had to give up after 20 minutes each time until I finally got out though to Ellissa, who was brilliant at helping me out!

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.
