About Teachers Building Society

Teachers Building Society was founded in 1966 by the National Union of Teachers (now the National Education Union) to help teachers and other education professionals onto the property ladder and provide a safe haven for their savings. Today, the Teachers Building Society offers a wide range of mortgage options to teaching professionals as well as a variety of competitive savings options which are available to all.

As a mutual organisation, Teachers Building Society is run solely for the benefit of their members, rather than shareholders. This means that instead of paying dividends to shareholders, they invest their profits back into the products and services they offer, ensuring that their mortgage and savings rates are as competitive as possible.

The FSCS protects deposits made into savings accounts offered by Teachers Building Society through our marketplace, and Teachers Building Society is authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

Please ensure you have read and understood all sets of Terms and Conditions before applying for this product.

Can I withdraw money?

You may withdraw the full deposit amount only. This will be subject to a 90 day notice period. You are unable to add to the initial deposit or make partial withdrawals. Funds may be returned to your Raisin Account in two separate payments by MAM following the notice period expiry. For further information, please refer to clause 4.21 of the MAM Terms and Conditions.

Your notice of termination will start on the business day after your request to give notice.

Once notice has been given it can’t be revoked.

If a termination falls on a non-business day, then payment will be made on the next business day and interest will be paid for the additional days. e.g. If a notice account terminates on a Saturday and funds are returned on the Monday, interest will be paid for the intervening Sunday.

Additional information

MAM, with their administration arm Meteor Investment Management (MIM), will administer the deposit on your behalf.

Funds will appear in MIM’s account by the following business day from funding your application at the latest. Funds will be remitted to Teachers BS by MIM on the second business day after arriving in the MIM account. It can therefore take up to 3 business days for an ordered product to be set up and start earning interest.

Cash and deposits will be held by MIM and MAM in trust for you under FCA client money and asset rules.

You have the right to cancel your account without charge and without giving any reason, within 14 calendar days from the day of opening this savings account. For further information, please refer to clauses 1.18 and 1.19 of the MAM Terms and Conditions.

Security and deposit guarantee

Deposits are eligible for protection by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) http://www.fscs.org.uk/. The FSCS is the United Kingdom’s statutory deposit guarantee scheme that covers deposits in individual savings accounts up to £85,000, per banking group regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority or the Prudential Regulation Authority. It is available for deposits with most UK high-street and online banks and means if the bank fails, and deposits become unavailable, the scheme may cover your deposit account deposit up to the £85,000 per person, per banking group limit.

Compensation limits are per person per firm, not per deposit. Be aware that if you have other deposits with this bank (or banking group) then the £85,000 protection applies only to eligible deposits up to this limit.

Timescales for the return of your money can vary between different banks and banking groups. This bank holds funds under a trust model. Funds held under a trust model can take up to three months to be returned, but in most cases will be returned sooner than this.’ and vice versa.
