  5. Have your say

    Our members decide how we’re run, through our Annual General Meetings (AGM).

  6. Branch commitment

    We’re investing in our branches. Because we're committed to supporting communities. And understand the importance of talking face-to-face.


Why we're different

We’re not a bank. We’re a ‘mutual’ building society. As a mutual, we are owned by our members, which means we think about profit in a different way from our banking peers.

We help each other buy homes and save for our futures by bringing our borrowers and savers together. We help each other with our other financial needs too, all for our mutual benefit.

We look after our members

We're dedicated to keeping your money safe. Our Scam Checker Service means you can talk to us whenever you're unsure about a payment. And when times get tough we're here for you. You can speak to a Cost of Living expert through our free hotline.
