About
The Barnsley Building Society Company
Barnsley
Building Society was formed in 1853 by a number of prominent townsmen
with the primary objective of "enabling persons to purchase their
own residences, pay off mortgages and invest money profitably".
The organisation developed steadily due to profits being ploughed
back into the Society to benefit the growing base of investors and
borrowers. The principle of 'mutuality' is one of the strengths of
Barnsley Building Society today.
Barnsley
Building Society prides itself on its 'local' attitude to its members'
requirements, with nine branches in the Yorkshire area, backed also
by an agency network covering North Yorkshire to Derbyshire.
Barnsley
Building Society, due to its size, can be flexible in its approach
to lending and competitive with regard to investment accounts. The
Barnsley intends to stay independent and fully committed to mutuality,
where it provides the dependability and understanding of a true
building society, with the backing of years of experience in specialist
areas. The Barnsley Building Society will ensure that the benefits
of operating as a mutual building society are fed back to their
members in the form of attractive interest rates and first class
service levels, rather than having to concentrate on increasing
profitability for the sole benefit of external shareholders.
The Barnsley Building Society's extensive range of products is regularly
renewed to ensure that they are offering their members the service
they require.
As an
organisation The Barnsley Building Society have a strong belief
in development of the individual and as such have implemented "Investors
In People" into their working practices. They also believe
in development of community and have introduced an initiative called
Pride In Your Community which rewards community groups who strive
to offer much needed services to their neighbours.
