It all began when...
-
over 1,000 people came together on 16th April 1850 to form the Cumberland Co-operative Land and Benefit Building Society...
- at the time, the main objective was to provide a means whereby the ‘industrious classes’ could acquire property
- throughout our entire history, we have operated using the same business model
We are now a strong, regional building society...
-
with 33 branches mainly in Cumbria and Dumfriesshire, but extending to Preston in North Lancashire and Haltwhistle in West Northumbria
-
today, our aim is to be the natural choice for mortgages and a leading provider for other retail financial services in our area
-
to achieve this aim, we continue to provide the long term benefits from the range and quality of services that our members want
-
this is achieved by the Society remaining modern, independent and mutual
With the backing of you - our members...
-
the Cumberland can continue to operate as a successful, independent regional building society and demonstrate the tangible benefits of mutuality through the savings and mortgage products we offer
