Welcome. The Melton is a modern, mutual building society which has been serving the people of Melton Mowbray and the surrounding area since 1875. We’re here to help people buy their own homes, make the most of their savings and to provide independent personal financial advice. With over 40,000 members, we have a reputation for being a trusted provider of financial products including mortgages, savings, insurance and investments.

Commitment to mutuality

Our success is built on being an independent, mutual Society, which places customers (or members) at the heart of everything we do. Being a mutual means we don’t have shareholders to pay dividends to so we can share the results of our success with our members through higher interest rates for savers, lower rates for borrowers and providing better services.

This also means contributing to the communities we serve, including supporting local charities not only financially, but also voluntarily with our time, experience and knowledge. Find out more

Commitment to our customers

Our roots and heritage are firmly in the Melton Mowbray area and our 3 local branches – Melton, Grantham and Oakham – provide a level of customer service you would expect of a community based building society. It’s also very easy to do business with us over the telephone, online and through mortgage intermediaries. Our customer advisors are here to help from 9am to 6pm Monday to Friday and 9am to 12pm on Saturday.

Our Mission Statement reflects our commitment to mutuality and our customers:

“To be a trusted national provider of savings and mortgage products, with a reputation for meeting niche customer requirements, whilst having the freedom to reward our members by delivering a strong business performance.”
