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.

Excellent service at the Beeston Branch of the Nottingham Building Society.
I was looking to open an ISA from which I could withdraw money when needed which paid a decent interest rate. I was told about an ISA with a 4% variable rate where you could withdraw and replace money up to your max allowance. This was exactly what I was looking for and my account was efficiently opened on the day I enquired about it.
