Principality Building Society

Principality is a mutual building society, which means that we're owned by and run for the benefit of our 500,000 Members – our savers and borrowers. We don't have any shareholder interests to satisfy so all our profits are put back into the Society, to benefit our Members. Our key priority is to keep our Members' money safe and to remain true to the meaning of being a mutual. We've been looking after our Members' savings, investments and mortgages for over 150 years. With 53 branches and 18 agency counters across Wales and the Border Counties, we're the UK's 6th largest building society, with £9 billion in assets. Our Chief Executive, Julie-Ann Haines, was appointed in 2020 and our Chair, Sally Jones-Evans in 2021. We're proud to be at the heart of our communities, and we like to give back - our staff have dedicated hundreds of hours to local community projects and raised thousands of pounds for good causes. We love to celebrate everything that's great about Wales. We're passionate about sponsoring sports and the arts in our communities. In January 2016, as part of our ongoing support and commitment to Welsh rugby, we entered a new landmark partnership with the Welsh Rugby Union, with the renamed Principality Stadium.
