Appointments
If you want to open a new account in branch we recommend that you book an appointment in advance by calling 0345 608 0783. You can also request a longer appointment if that would make things easier for you.
Step-free access
Almost all branches have step-free access, making them easy to visit. There are also large buttons to automatically open branch doors.
We provide portable ramps at Clitheroe and St Albans to help customers enter and exit the branch. Press the doorbell outside and wait for assistance.
Unfortunately, we cannot provide step-free access at our branches in Guiseley or Settle due to the pavement layout.
We have partnered with AccessAble to create detailed guides of just how accessible each branch is. We're proud to be the first building society to offer this service.
