Take our short survey

We encourage everybody who visits our site to complete this short survey. It’ll only take a minute but it will give us really important evidence about the level of interest in the Mutual bank, evidence that we can use when lobbying. Your personal details will never be shared externally.

Do you have a bank account?
Do you have a business account?
Do you have a Credit Union account?
How content are you with the services your bank offers?
Will you pledge to support the establishment of the Northern Mutual?

Do your local MLAs support the Northern Mutual?

In 2022, we ran an MLA pledge campaign during the Assembly elections and secured support from 20% of the elected MLAs. Elected representatives listen to their constituents so if you support the Northern Mutual campaign, why not email your local MLA and ask them to support the campaign too?

It's simple. Fill in the form below and an email will be sent to the MLAs in your constituency asking them to support the Northern Mutual campaign. Review the email wording before you send. You will receive a copy of the same email in your inbox. Feel free to let us know if you receive any responses!

A glossary of terms about mutual banking

We try to keep discussions about our campaign as accessible as possible — it's a public‑interest campaign after all! However, financial jargon can be taxing so please consult the glossary below if you're uncertain about certain terms or phrases.

Our campaign to establish a mutual, regional bank was launched in 2019 and is currently at the development stage. Northern Mutual is registered with the Financial Conduct Authority as a cooperative society under the name of Northern Mutual Ltd.
