Providing you with a little extra support
At Family Building Society, we understand that there are times when we all need a little extra help and support.
We may need extra support at any stage in our life, for different reasons. Living with, or developing health conditions can make it more difficult to be able to manage finances, and personal circumstances like divorce or bereavement can leave us needing to use our money in a different way from how we’d planned.
At Family Building Society we’re committed to providing a personal approach to savings and mortgages, and we strive to cater for all of our customers’ needs. That’s why we have a dedicated team who aim to deal with customers who may
need some extra help and support with compassion and flexibility, in response to their personal circumstances.
Supporting our members
Our Customer First Team can offer you more time to talk through your options over the phone, and can help point you in the right direction of additional support you might need such as charities or advice services (e.g. Age Concern, Money Advice Trust and Shelter).
If you need extra support managing your account(s), you don’t have to tell us why if you don’t feel comfortable doing so. Our friendly Customer First Team will still be able to talk to you about the different options available.
If you want to speak to the Customer First Team, please contact our Family Service Team who'll be able to put you through. If you're a savings account holder, please phone 03330 140144. If you're a mortgage holder, please phone 03330 140146.
