The story
The society was formed in 1856.
In 2021, it was named building society of the year, after investing heavily in digital banking, working with UK based IT company IeDigital.
Every year it donates 5% of its profits to local good causes, supporting mental health, climate, poverty, loneliness and developing skills for the unemployed.
