National Counties Building Society is committed to its independent development
as a mutual organisation run for the benefit of its customers. It is the UK's
largest single office building society and has unrivalled financial strength.
the origins
of National Counties can be traced to 1896 when the Fourth Post Office Mutual
Building Society was established. the Society pioneered the development of
investment accounts by post and in 1972 changed its name to National Counties
Building Society to reflect the countrywide scope of its operations.
From its
Church Street, Epsom headquarters, the Society provides a first class professional
service to around 40,000 customers, throughout the UK. A branch in Ashley
Square, part of Epsom's busy Ashley Shopping Centre, provides added convenience
for customers living and working locally. the Society's efficiency enables
it to offer highly attractive investment and mortgage services and its products
regularly appear in "Best Buy" tables published in the national
press and othe r media. With Reserves in excess of £96 million and Assets
in excess of £744 million, the Society has the strongest capital ratio
in the Building Society Industry. This provides customers with unrivalled
