Hi,
I'm wondering if I should keep my small amounts in several Building Societies in case of demutualisation.

B Midshires is already demutualised. It is part of Halifax Bank Of Scotland which in turn is part of the Lloyds Banking Group.

Had them years and trying to do a' tidy up'
ie £100 in Darlington
£2000 in Chelsea
£2000 approx in B Midshires
Thank you

UNless the accounts are paying an exceptional rate of interest I wouldn't keep anything over £100 in them but as above BM has already converted many years ago so that is one to cross off.

Chelsea is now owned by Yorkshire Building Society. But YBS is still a mutual.
