Our Society enjoyed a night to remember on Friday 30th January 2026, picking up awards at two high‑profile South Wales events.
At the Swansea Bay Business Awards in Swansea, we were named Business of the Year and Service Business of the Year, recognising our outstanding service, innovation, and contribution to the local business community. Our pioneering mobile app, the first of its kind among Welsh building societies, allows members to view and manage their savings on the go - a key factor in the Service Business of the Year accolade.
The Swansea Bay Business Awards are designed to celebrate and champion the businesses making waves across the Swansea Bay region, including Swansea, Neath Port Talbot, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire, with a range of categories showcasing regional excellence and entrepreneurship.
On the same night, at the Prostate Cymru Blue Tie Ball in Cardiff, we were also recognised as Corporate Fundraiser of the Year, celebrating our dedication to supporting prostate health initiatives across Wales.
Prostate Cymru works to improve awareness of prostate health and ensure men have access to vital testing and support services, and Swansea Building Society named the charity as its official partner for 2025/26, supporting its fundraising and awareness campaigns and helping extend PSA blood test days across South Wales.
Alun Williams, our Chief Executive, said:
“We’re incredibly proud of our teams across Swansea and Cardiff. Winning three awards in a single night shows the hard work and commitment our colleagues put in every day - whether delivering outstanding service to our members or supporting vital causes in our communities.
“These achievements reflect our dual focus: providing modern, member‑focused services while giving back to the communities we serve. Our new mobile app is a great example of how we’re embracing technology to make banking easier and more convenient for our members.”
