Perhaps if Robin Hood and his band of Merry Men had chosen to trade their oak tree hideout for a nice little cottage in Sherwood Forest, the Nottingham Building Society could have helped. Also known as The Nottingham, the company is a mutually owned financial institution that provides mortgage, insurance, savings, and real estate services to its members. In 2009 it introduced financial planning services, through which it offers pensions and other investments. The society has been established since 1849 and operates a network of some 40 branches in and around Nottingham.

Nottingham Building Society is a building society founded in 1849 by a group led by Samuel Fox (1781-1868), a Quaker and prominent local grocer.[1]
The purpose of the society was to promote the construction of a better class of dwellings, suitable for the working and middle classes, as well as provide a safe and profitable place for small savings.
The Nottingham Building Society was one of the first financial institutions to introduce online banking in 1983, with its Homelink service on Prestel. It is a member of the Building Societies Association.
Branches
The company has several branches across Nottingham including in the city centre on Parliament Street, Beeston, Bulwell, Mapperley, Sherwood on Mansfield Road, and Wollaton. It has many of its branches in the county of Nottinghamshire and others in Lincolnshire, Derbyshire and Sheffield.
