    Why should I invest with the Newcastle?
    Back to top

    Newcastle Building Society is the biggest building society in the North East. With assets under management in excess of £4.8bn we are large enough to provide a full range of products and services, but small enough to care about the needs of our members.

    The Newcastle is committed to remaining mutual and by doing so we feel we are better placed to continue to provide our investors with the quality of service expected from one of the country’s strongest building societies.
