Vision
To be a strong independent mutual, that is
trusted and respected by members and non-
members, because we offer straightforward,
value for money products, that are easy to
understand, and are supported by an
unrivalled level of personal service.

Strategy
• As an independent Building Society we will provide a safe and trusted place for members to save.
• These savings will be used to provide residential mortgages, so that members can buy a house, or improve their existing home.
• Our strategy will be underpinned by an unrivalled level of personal service.
• Bonuses will be not be paid to any staff

How the Society Works The Society has 3 main components to its business:-
2. Saver Members (Lend money to the Society)
3. Mortgage Members (Borrow money from the Society)
23/04/2013 13
1. Capital (Money for a ‘rainy day’)
How the Society Works
Capital (Money for a ‘rainy day’)
• A minimum amount of money and assets must be set aside
• These are to cover unexpected events
• The Society has £8.5m in Reserves
• All of the Society’s net profits are used to increase Reserves
• We have no shareholders to pay
• We do not pay bonuses to staff
23/04/2013 14
How the Society Works
Saver Members (Lend money to the Society)
• Members who deposit their savings with the Society are ‘lending’ their money
• In return the Society pays these members interest
• The Society offers straightforward products and avoids confusing ‘special offers’
• We always try to be as competitive as possible
23/04/2013 15
How the Society Works
Mortgage Members (Borrow money from the Society)
• The Society uses the money from savers to lend via mortgages
• Borrowing members take out mortgages to buy homes
• In return they pay interest to the Society
• This money is used to:-
– Pay interest to savers
– Cover the running costs of the Society
• Any spare money is profit and this is used to increase capital
• Capital must increase by a minimum amount each year in order to
assure the long term future of the Society
23/04/2013 16
How the Society Works
Challenges
• The market is very competitive
• The government has increased competition in the mortgage market leading to reduced rates
• This reduces the rates that can be paid to savers
• Financial institutions are being told to hold more capital
• This means the Society must make more profit
• The need to make more profit effects the rates that can be paid to Savers
The good news……….
23/04/2013 17
How the Society Works
Good News
• Your money is safe with the Beverley Building Society
• We are completely independent which means that £85,000 of every members savings (so £170,000 for joint accounts) are guaranteed by the Government
• We promise that we will always offer consistently competitive rates
• We take a conservative approach
• We don’t pay bonuses
