About Cheshire Building Society

Established in 1870 in Macclesfield, the Cheshire was one of the first Permanent Societies. The Cheshire's first merger was in 1969 when it merged with the Northwich Building Society. This was followed by a number of smaller mergers through the 1970's and 80's. The branch network covers the North West and includes 37 building society branches. On 15 December 2008, the Cheshire Building Society merged with Nationwide Building Society.

Cheshire Building Society 

The merger with Nationwide Building Society was caused by fears about the financial security of the Building Society after posting losses of £10.5 million.Unusually, there was no ballot of members on the proposition, after a special resolution under the Building Societies Act enabling a faster merger was forced through by the FSA.
