Where Home Matters

About us

Principality is a mutual building society, which means that we're owned by and run for the benefit of our 500,000 Members – our savers and borrowers. We don't have any shareholder interests to satisfy so all our profits are put back into the Society, to benefit our Members. Our key priority is to keep our Members’ money safe and to remain true to the meaning of being a mutual. We’ve been looking after our Members’ savings, investments and mortgages for over 160 years. With 53 branches and 18 agency counters across Wales and the Border Counties, we’re the UK's 6th largest building society. Our Chief Executive, Julie-Ann Haines, was appointed in 2020 and our Chair, Simon Moore in 2024. We love to celebrate everything that’s great about Wales. In January 2016, as part of our ongoing support and commitment to Welsh rugby, we entered a new landmark partnership with the Welsh Rugby Union, with the renamed Principality Stadium.

    A few weeks ago we celebrated the first graduating cohort of the Principality Academy, and I can honestly say it has been the highlight and proudest achievement of my career. What started as a tiny seed of an idea on a Miro board, has grown into a powerful, people-led programme that’s helped colleagues across PBS build confidence, grow professionally, and challenge themselves in ways they never imagined. Over the past 12 months, I’ve had the privilege of watching the delegates take leaps of faith outside their comfort zones, find their voices, and challenge themselves in ways gthey never thought possible. Just like a phoenix, this journey has been about embracing challenges, increasing confidence, rising to new heights and transforming financial careers. Our delegates have shown that growth and opportunity are always possible when we lean into discomfort and believe in our potential. I've also grown professionally, learnt a lot about what i'm capable of and I am so proud of what has been achieved. 🌱 However, this would not have all been possible without the wonderful people involved: 👏 To the incredible delegates - thank you for your energy, openness, and commitment to growth. 👏 To our wonderful SMEs, SLT, Line managers, mentors, and supporters - thank you for giving your time, your knowledge, and your encouragement so generously. 👏 To everyone behind the scenes who helped shape and support this vision - thank you. Your support made it possible. Here’s to the power of rising like a phoenix 🐦🔥 #PrincipalityAcademy #Phoenix #Learning #GrowthMindset
