History

Founded in 1845 it was the world's oldest (surviving) building society - many early societies were wound up after all members had a house.

The Society promoted itself as offering a more personal service due to their focus on the locality of their main target customers, including the residents of Chesham, hence the original slogan was "Far better for being near to you".

The Society had branches in Aylesbury, Little Chalfont, an agency in Tring and the branch/head office in Chesham.

Merger with Skipton Building Society

On 24 February 2010 the society announced a proposed merger with the Skipton Building Society.[2] This was approved by Chesham Members at their AGM on 31 March 2010 with just over 80 percent of both savers and borrowers voting in favour.[3] The merger of the two societies took place on 1 June 2010. The enlarged society operates under the Skipton name.[4]
