About Nottingham Building Society

Written by the company

Your financial needs and personal circumstances are ever-evolving. Your money goals are one of a kind. You're saving for different things and earning money in different ways. Work might not be 9–5 anymore.

You may be a millennial dreaming of your first home. A foreign national facing restricted access to credit or unfamiliar rules. Or a silver fox planning to retire in style. No matter your situation or credit score, you’ll find mortgages and savings that fit.

Unlike banks, a mutual building society means shareholders don't cash in. No bumping up strangers' bank balances. No hidden agendas. Just a focus on giving you a fair shot at stability and success.

Setting up a new account.

I wanted to set up a 1-yr ISA with funds from my NBS Access Account, but wasn't sure if this was possible. Your colleague dealing with my query was very well informed, and immediately reassured me that she could set up the account that I wanted. Great customer service: polite, professional, and personal, for which, many thanks.
