The Cambridge Building Society is a UK mutual building society based in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England. It is the 13th largest in the United Kingdom based on total assets of more than £1.8 billion at December 2022. It is a member of the Building Societies Association.

The story

The society was established in 1850. 2016 saw a number of changes to its branch network, with closure of the branches in Burwell, Chesterton, Mill Road, Milton and Soham reducing the branch network to 13.

In 2017, the society announced a £15m investment partnership with The Cambridgeshire County Council Pension Fund through the issuance of Core Capital Deferred Shares – the second building society to do so after Nationwide. In 2017, it also launched an app for savings and mortgage customers. In March 2020, the society expanded its lending area, across all of England and Wales.
