Can Building Societies Survive the Next 250 Years?

How do Building Societies modernize without losing what makes them trusted? In this new episode of the FintechOS Evolv Podcast, we dive into the future of mutuals and what it really takes to scale, digitize, and stay true to purpose.

Host Mark Dearman is joined by Julian Wells (Whitecap Consulting), Robert Thickett (Building Societies Association) and Mark Collings (Publicis Sapient)

They explore:

🔹 Why physical branches are evolving, not disappearing
🔹 How AI is being tested (carefully) across the sector
🔹 The role of data in making lending safer and smarter
🔹 What’s slowing down green finance uptake
🔹 How to engage a generation that’s never seen a passbook

In a world chasing scale at speed, building societies are taking a different path: modernizing with purpose, and planning to be around for another 250 years.
