Helping people achieve more with their money since 1849

At Nottingham Building Society, we've been helping people save, buy homes and plan for the future since 1849.

As a mutual building society, we're owned by our members, not shareholders. This means we can focus on what matters most: delivering value, support and long-term financial wellbeing for the people and communities we serve.

For more than 175 years, we've helped generations of members take important financial steps, whether that's opening their first savings account, buying a home, protecting their property, planning for retirement or supporting their family’s future.

Today, we combine the personal service of a local building society with the convenience of modern digital banking, helping members manage their finances in the way that suits them best.

Supporting savers at every stage of life

Saving goals look different for everyone.

Some people are building an emergency fund. Others are saving for a first home, a special occasion, their children’s future or retirement. Whatever the goal, we're here to help.

Our savings products are supported by straightforward guidance, helpful colleagues and flexible ways to manage your money.

Whether you're an experienced saver or just getting started, we aim to make saving simple and accessible.

We offer a range of savings accounts designed to meet different needs, including:

  • Easy access savings accounts - save at your own pace, with the flexibility to access your money when you need it.
  • Fixed-term bonds - lock your money away for a set period in return for a fixed interest rate.
  • Cash ISAs - save without paying tax on the interest you earn, up to your annual ISA allowance.
  • Children's savings accounts - help build up savings for a child’s future with an account designed for younger savers.
  • Lifetime ISA - save towards your first home or later life and receive a Government bonus, subject to eligibility and withdrawal rules.
  • Regular savers - build your savings over time by putting money away regularly, typically each month.

Saving that works in branch, online and on the move

While many members value the reassurance and personal support available in our branches, we understand the importance of being able to manage your money digitally.

That's why we continue to invest in services that give members greater choice and flexibility.

Members can manage eligible accounts using our mobile app and online services, allowing them to:

  • Check balances and transactions.
  • Manage accounts securely.
  • Access important account information.
    Keep track of savings goals.
  • Save conveniently wherever they are.

Our approach is simple: provide the digital features members expect while maintaining the personal service and community presence that have always been at the heart of Nottingham Building Society.

Our mobile app gives eligible members a convenient way to manage their accounts wherever and whenever it suits them.

Once downloaded, members can register or log in securely using their account details and access supported account services directly from their mobile device.

Helping more people become homeowners

Home ownership remains one of the most important ways we support our members.

We offer mortgage solutions for a wide range of borrowers, including:

  • First-time buyers.
  • Home movers.
  • Members looking to remortgage.
  • Shared ownership borrowers.
  • Customers with more complex circumstances.

We recognise that not everyone fits a standard lending model. That's why we take a pragmatic approach wherever possible and continue to develop mortgage solutions that help more people access home ownership.

By combining technology, expertise and personal support, we help members navigate one of life's biggest financial decisions with greater confidence.

Supporting members beyond savings and mortgages

Financial wellbeing is about more than simply saving money or buying a home.

We support members throughout life's journey with access to:

Our aim is to provide the information and support members need to make informed financial decisions at every stage of life.

Supporting mortgage brokers and intermediaries

Alongside our direct members services, we work with thousands of mortgage brokers and intermediaries across the UK.

Brokers play a vital role in helping members find suitable mortgage solutions and navigate increasingly complex borrowing needs. We support intermediaries with specialist lending expertise, dedicated support teams, accessible criteria information and digital tools that help make placing business with us easier.

Our intermediary proposition is built around collaboration, service and delivering better outcomes for both brokers and borrowers.
