About Us
Our network of local branches
Our continued commitment to a strong local network of branches sets us apart from our competitors. We have more full service branches in and around the Cambridge area than any other building society or former building society - turned bank. This allows savings accounts to be operated at our branches.
We do not charge for counter services or impose interest penalties for using a branch.

Community focused
With 23 branches in and around the Cambridge area we are, without doubt, part of the local community. A responsibility we take very seriously - not just by the financial support we provide local people and businesses, but also by making a commitment to take an active role in community issues. In 2007 our staff donated 2,564 hours of their own time to help the Society support 227 local charities and fundraising groups.
In 2007 we were again nominated and short listed for 'Community Business of the Year' at the Cambridge Evening News Business Excellence Awards. We previously won this award in March 2004.
Our mission statement
The Cambridge Building Society is an independent, local, mutual society. It aims through responsible administration to offer competitive rates of interest to both savers and borrowers; and to provide a first class service to the community from conveniently situated offices.
