What would you like help with?
On 31 January 2020, the UK left the EU and entered a transition period that ended on 31 December 2020. We and some other UK-based building societies and banks are no longer able to provide all our products and services to certain EU and European Economic Area (EEA) countries. This includes opening new accounts and arranging new borrowing for members and account holders.
What we can and cannot provide for our members and account holders will depend on the position taken by each individual country. We’re talking with central banks and regulators across EU and EEA countries to understand the accounts we can keep open.
If your accounts need to close, we’ll update the information on these Brexit help pages and write to tell you the next steps to close your accounts or to make alternative arrangements.
If things change in the future, we hope to welcome you back to the Society.
Thank you for being a part of our Society.
