Providing a local, mutual alternative to the big banks, The Melton Building Society, Oakham, Rutland
Providing a local, mutual alternative to the big banks, The Melton Building Society (often simply called "The Melton") has been a fixture of Oakham’s High Street for years. As a building society, it operates differently from a standard bank; it is owned by its members rather than shareholders, meaning profits are reinvested to provide better rates and support for the local community.
The Oakham branch serves as a vital hub for residents of Rutland. While many national banks have moved toward digital-only models, The Melton maintains its physical presence to offer face-to-face service. Their approach combines traditional values with modern financial products, focusing on:
Personal Savings: A wide range of accounts including ISAs, easy-access savings, and specific accounts for children and businesses.
Mortgages: Expert advice for first-time buyers, those looking to remortgage, and even niche areas like self-build projects.
Local Support: The society is well-known for its "Community Support" initiatives, often sponsoring local events and charities within the Rutland and Leicestershire area.
The branch is designed to be inclusive, featuring an automatic door, wheelchair access, and an induction loop for those with hearing impairments. The staff are noted for their personal touch, often knowing regular customers by name—a rarity in the modern financial world.
