Membership

Mutuality means that the organisation is owned by its members...

So, Britannia is owned by you, its members and a member is anyone with a qualifying mortgage or savings account. Find out if you will be eligible to vote at the Annual General Meeting in 2008.

Following the recent acquisition of the Bristol & West savings and branch business, Britannia has approximately 3 million members. Viewed another way, 1 in 20 of the UK population is a member of Britannia.

We're firmly committed to mutuality and also dedicated to our members' needs. A public limited company (plc) is owned by shareholders, who may have no other connection with the company. Every one of Britannia's owners, or members, have chosen to fund their home, or save for the future with Britannia.

Our history

Most mutual organisations can trace their roots back to the 19th century - we've been around since 1856 and Britannia today is rooted in the values that have developed over 150 years.
