Is Furness Building Society legit?

Legit

There is nothing doubtful about Furness Building Society, a Cumbrian savings and mortgage mutual with high-street branches, but its savings app is where things can stall. Online access starts with a new digital profile and a phone-camera check of your passport or driving licence, and when that scan fails, help can mean a long wait.

What we checked

  • Building society since 1865
  • Head office in Barrow-in-Furness
  • Branches in Cumbria and Lancashire
  • Ratings on other review websites: 4/5

Watch out for

  • An identity check in the Digital Savings app that will not accept your passport or licence scan.
  • A call that seems to come from the society, asking for your details or a one-time code.
  • A mortgage application turned down after valuation or underwriting, without a reason you can follow.

Locked out of the Furness savings app?

We help you write it, it gets its own public page, and you can have it sent to Furness Building Society as a formal letter.
