Building Societies Association
Consumers

Building societies' commitment to consumers is paramount.  As mutuals, building societies do not have external shareholders to pay. All profits are channelled back into the building society for the benefit of building society members, their customers. This is the unique benefit that consumers get when they belong to a building society.test

In the Consumers section you can find out much more about building societies and the benefits of mutuality.
