Instructions confirmation lacking

Telephone staff are polite, helpful and clear. My one criticism is: having used the phone-in system to give my ISA reinvestment instructions, I did not receive any confirmation by email or post. This was worrying and I had to phone again on the day of maturity to check that my instructions were going to be carried out. A simple email would have been sufficient. Reviewed on: 21st November 2024

Reply from Family Building Society Hi Thank you for your comments and I am sorry that you were worried about not receiving confirmation of your ISA maturity instructions. Unless specifically requested, we don’t confirm instructions upon receipt, as we send out a new opening certificate as confirmation once the ISA has matured & been reinvested. However we appreciate your feedback, and your comments have been passed to the relevant department for their consideration. I am pleased to hear that you found our staff polite and helpful. Thank you for saving with us. Kind regards Response date: 21st November 2024

I found the NCBS/Family B S many years ago

I found NCBS many years ago before it began Family Building Society. I have had various saving accounts with them on a continuous basis because their accounts were either as good or even better than the most competitive of building societies. In addition the quality of their staff was always excellent in knowledge and helpfulness. Reviewed on: 11th November 2024
