Antiquated login system

Tried to login today but there is a different system now that prevented me from doing so. I phoned FBS who said I had to wait 5 days for a verification code. I queried why I had not been informed about this to be told we emailed you ( not true as I keep all your emails) and also it came in a newsletter, again I keep all the correspondence and I haven’t received this letter. Very disappointed with this new system which is preventing me access to my account, what an antiquated system. Reviewed on: 15th January 2026

Difficuly logging in

I called today as I was having difficulty logging in. The customer services adviser was very patient and helpful. She walked me through the process and I actually had to re-register as the system had updated since I last logged in and my password needed changing. Thank you for making it easy. Just need to wait for verification code through the post and will be sorted Reviewed on: 12th January 2026
