Our history

Our roots date back to 1849. We're the result of an amalgamation of some 50 building societies including the Midshires and Birmingham & Bridgwater Building Societies. Find information on the building societies that formed Birmingham Midshires.

Since January 2009, we've been part of Lloyds Banking Group. With a strong and supportive parent company, we continue to be a key provider of leading savings products to UK consumers.
