Kinder banking. It's in our nature.

At the Cumberland, our aim is to create a banking experience that is kinder to people and planet.

Celebrating our 175th birthday in 2025, we remain a purpose-led, financially strong, socially responsible building society, focussed on our people, planet and communities. Owned by our customers rather than shareholders, we are able to invest 100% of our profits back into our business and the people who make us what we are today.

We treat people with warmth and respect their dreams and ambitions. Whether you’re applying for a mortgage, starting a business or saving for retirement, we're here to provide support.

We lend a helping hand in our communities. We ensure everyone feels included, look out for the most vulnerable and offer practical solutions.

We know that caring about people means caring for nature - from the countryside and wildlife to everything beyond.

We look to the environment when it comes to making decisions. Because a sustainable future is the best foundation to build.
