How savings should be
When it comes to stashing away your hard-earned cash, we’ve got a clear idea of how savings should be.
We’ve been helping people save for their future for nearly 150 years, so we’ve learned a thing or two along the way. But our heritage isn’t just about age. It’s about experience, reliability and a rock-solid foundation that’s stood the test of time.
We believe savings should be easy, accessible and in your interest. Read on to find out why.
Our network of branches
Let’s debunk a myth straight away: despite our name, we’re not just a one-city wonder. In fact, we have 50 branches spread all across the UK! You can find us in bustling cities as well as smaller towns, so we’re never too far away from your local branch.
And if you prefer the convenience of digital banking, our website is just a click away, ready to serve you 24/7.

Going above and beyond
When it comes to interest rates, we don’t mess around. In 2023, we raised the bar by paying a whopping 0.59% above the average market rate*. That works out to be an extra £110 million in interest lining our members’ pockets! We’re not just here to meet expectations, we’re here to exceed them. After all, your savings deserve nothing less.
We’re owned and driven by you
You might be wondering – what’s the deal with this whole ‘mutual’ thing? Let us break it down for you.
As a mutual we’re owned by you – our members – not some faceless shareholders. That means our priorities are crystal clear. We exist to support you, allowing us to offer competitive rates, provide top-notch service, and give back by helping good causes.
So, what are you waiting for? Join our savings revolution! It’s easy, accessible and backed by our longstanding heritage – just how savings should be.
