Who we are
Where saving, home-buying, and community come together — that’s who we are.
At Penrith Building Society, we’ve been helping people make the most of their money since 1877 — whether you’re saving for something special or buying a home to call your own.
We’re based in the beautiful town of Penrith, Cumbria, and proud to support members both locally and across the UK with a range of savings accounts and mortgages that fit real lives.
Because we’re a mutual organisation, we’re owned by our members, not shareholders. That means when you join us, you’re not just a customer — you’re part of a community where your needs come first and your voice is heard.
We care deeply about the place we call home and love getting involved in projects that make a difference — supporting local charities, events, and initiatives that help our community grow and thrive.
At Penrith Building Society, it’s about more than money — it’s about people, community, and growing together.
We support, care and make a difference.
We are one team, accessible to all.
We act responsibly, keep our promises and do the right thing.
Our members are people, not numbers. We will listen, help and act with empathy.
We embrace change with courage and curiosity, always learning and improving.
