About us

What makes us Different?

Our network of local branches
Our commitment to a strong local network of branches sets us apart from our competitors. We have more full service branches in and around the Cambridge area than any other building society or former building society - turned bank. This allows savings accounts to be operated at our branches.

We do not charge for counter services or impose interest penalties for using a branch.

Low mortgage rates for all
We aim to provide our borrowers with good value loans over the long term. Our variable rate mortgage has been consistently recognised by consumer magazine 'What Mortgage' and in 2008 we have been awarded 'Best Regional Building Society'.
We provide a full range of mortgages and have a qualified Mortgage Adviser available at every one of our 19 local branches.

YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE.

Families' Loyalty Bonus
For existing members and their families' we offer a Families' Loyalty Bonus on many of our mortgage deals.

Community focused
With 19 branches in and around the Cambridge area we are, without doubt, part of the local community. A responsibility we take very seriously - not just by the financial support we provide local people and businesses, but also by making a commitment to take an active role in community issues. In 2008 our staff donated 2,580 hours of their own time to help the Society support 190 local charities and fundraising groups.
