Building societies, unlike banks, are not traded on the stock exchange. They are run in the interest of the investing members, who receive information on the activity, attend general and other meetings, and vote in elections for the board of directors. In 2023, Nationwide ranked first among UK building societies with **** million investment members. Nationwide was also the biggest building society by group assets.
