Created for the way we live today
Every family, whatever shape or size, is different. Whether you’re a first time buyer or planning your finances for later life, we want to work with you to help achieve the things that matter most. At the Family Building Society, if it’s important to you, it’s important to us. That’s why we are committed to delivering innovative solutions that make the most of your circumstances, and offering a more personal approach to savings and mortgages.
We are confident in our ethos and think you should be too. Which is why we aim to be the first choice provider of savings and mortgage solutions to modern families, helping every generation to own a home and to save for their, or their family’s, future.
We can help you save your money better or finally get that dream home you wanted but, for today’s family, we know there’s more to think about. That’s why we have partnered with some trusted providers in the fields of financial planning, moving home, Inheritance Tax and estate administration, for example, so that whatever your particular need, help is at hand.
National Counties
Family
Building Society is a trading name of National Counties Building Society which
has been securely looking after people's money and helping homebuyers since 1896. The Society is committed to best practice in corporate governance and having
regard to the UK Corporate Governance Code, issued by the Financial Reporting
Council, as well as meeting the guidance for building societies issued by
the Prudential Regulation Authority and Financial Conduct Authority.
Day to day management of the Society is delegated to a team of Senior Executives led by a Chief Executive with oversight by an elected
Board. The principal function of the Board is to determine the strategy
and policies of National Counties Group within an effective control framework,
which enables risk to be assessed and managed. The Board ensures that the
necessary financial and human resources are in place for the Society to meet
its objectives and that business and management performances are
reviewed.
Furthermore, the Board ensures that the Group operates
within the Society's constitution and relevant legislation and regulation and
that proper accounting records and effective systems of business control are
established, maintained, documented and audited.
The Board has four Committees: the Audit, Board Risk,
Remuneration and Nomination Committees, the Terms of Reference for which are
accessible via the links below. The first three are comprised only of
Non-Executive Directors and have different Chairmen, none of whom is the
Chairman of the Society. The Nomination Committee is comprised of the
Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Board plus the Chief Executive.
The Remuneration Committee believes that it is increasingly important for members to understand how the remuneration of the Society's Directors and staff has been determined. Accordingly, a copy of the Society's Remuneration Policy Statement can be viewed via the link below.
