We are working hard to maintain the best service we can for you. As you can imagine our telephone lines are exceptionally busy at the moment. So we are asking for your help too.
In the interests of the health of both our customers and our staff, please avoid visiting our branches unless necessary. Please telephone your local branch direct if you have any queries or to register to use our online services.
To reduce the risk to our branch staff and customers, branch opening hours have temporarily be reduced to 9am - 1pm Monday to Friday and 9am – 12pm Saturdays.
We have also temporarily reduced our telephone opening hours at Principal Office to 9am - 3.30pm Monday to Friday and 9am – 12pm Saturdays. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
We understand that some customers may be worried about the effect that contracting the Coronavirus (COVID-19) could have on their finances, for example due to a drop in income as a result of contracting the virus or because of the measures imposed to stop it spreading. If you have any concerns about how this could affect you and your mortgage, please click here to read the leaflet produced by the Building Societies Association and National Debtline or please get in touch on 01664 414141.

The Society is aware of fraudsters using the Coronavirus outbreak to try and trick people into parting with their money. Here are four types of fraudulent activity that we are aware of:
A convenient place for your savings with the flexibility of easy access...
If you don’t need to have easy access to your savings, you can earn a better rate of interest with a notice account...
Easy access accounts for under 16s...
Make the most of your tax free allowance with our cash ISAs...
Access to your savings day and night with our online savings accounts...
Savings give you choices in life - not only the ability to pay for the essentials, but also the financial freedom to choose to have fun when you want to.
No matter how small the amount you are able to put away, frequency is key to success. However, for some of us, knowing where to start with savings can be tricky. Our Handy Guide to making the most of your savings gives you an understanding of why and how you should save.
Getting into the saving habit whatever kind of saver you are is easier than it sounds and there's no time like the present to develop saving habits that can help you become financially independent.
We offer a wide range of savings accounts including easy access savings, notice savings, children’s savings, tax free savings, online savings, fixed rate savings, offset savings and business savings accounts. Read our Handy Guide to making the most of your savings.

How safe are your savings?
You may be worried that if you tie your money up in a savings account, it won't be protected. However, the Financial Services Compensation Scheme is an independent body that serves as a last resort to cover most deposits, including savings up to the value of £85,000. So, if for some reason your bank or building society failed, your money is protected by the FSCS.
