Newbury Building Society was founded in 1856. Originally it was under the name “The Newbury Permanent Benefit Building and Investment Society”. After a series of amalgamations along the last century it has grown stronger than ever. Today it has £500 million in total assets. Newbury is mutual, so it does not have to pay dividends to shareholders. Hence Newbury can invest profits into better savings and mortgage rates for the benefit of its members. The society is committed to remaining mutual.
