The 2025 Building Societies Association (BSA) Conference was held in Birmingham this year to celebrate 250th anniversary of the first ever Building Society. The conference is the leading event in the sector bringing together over 1000 attendees. Delegates include chairs, chief executives and directors from BSA member organisations and executives from organisations that work with the mutual sector including retail banks, insurance firms, professional advisers and suppliers, along with regulators and the media. The event has been running successfully for over 30 years and attracts high profile speakers from finance, business, politics and the media.
We were thrilled to have our CEO Muna Yassin MBE as a panellist this year. The panel session titled ‘Financial inclusion: how can we make a meaningful difference?’ Explored what can be achieved to include more people in financial services, with a particular focus on savings, and how building societies and credit unions can play a major role in driving change.
