Advantages: Keeping the Customer Informed

Disadvantages: Lower Number of Branches

Britannia Building Society used to be my local, sadly they have closed that branch down, so while I no longer use them for instant access they do retain an ISA of mine and a fixed term account. The rates of interest are good and they do keep me informed of any new accounts that would afford me better returns. I also enjoy receiving my member bonus once a year- it's a bonus for remaining with them and the longer you stay the better it gets. They are about to merge with the COOP so Britannia Members will now get COOP rewards. I have always found them very helpful and would recommend them with the proviso that they are providing an account that meets your personal needs- I see nothing in the correspondence that I have received about the impending merger to suspect standards will be dropping, if anything they seem likely to improve.

Summary: If they have an account that meets your needs - I would go for it
