Abstract

This chapter begins by recounting some of the main points in the building society sector’s development, then adds to the historical account by describing some of the more recent changes to arrive at the shape we have today. We focus in particular on the demutualisation process that saw the largest building societies becoming banks. We then assess the impact of the financial crisis on the sector; we analyse the consolidation process that took place as larger and more sound building societies took over troubled ones. The sector required little direct government support during the crisis, with the exception of the failure of the Dunfermline Building Society (DBS) in 2009.

Under the Special Resolution Regime, there was no direct loan to FSCS, unlike the calls on the FSCS in 2008 relating to B&B and the Icelandic banks. Instead, the FSCS was liable for any shortfall from the recovery of Dunfermline assets that did not cover the government’s funding which had been applicable to insured deposits. A fixed 4.5 % rate of interest was charged on the notional loan.
