The Dunfermline Building Society was a building society and later a trading division of Nationwide Building Society, based in Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland. Before its 2009 merger with Nationwide, it was the largest building society in Scotland and the 12th largest in the United Kingdom based on total assets of £3.3 billion at 31 December 2007. It was a member of the Building Societies Association. On 28 March 2009, reports indicated the Society was no longer viable, and would be put up for public sale, to be managed by the Bank of England. This process led to acquisition of the Society's branches, good loans and deposits by the Nationwide Building Society with the Bank of England assuming control of £1bn in commercial lending and the Society's poorer-quality and shared ownership mortgages. The Dunfermline was fully integrated into Nationwide in June 2014. == History == The Dunfermline was established in 1869 in the town of Dunfermline from which it takes its name. It expanded throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, and acquired over 20 other organisations including: the Stenhousemuir, Peebles, Fourth Fifeshire Investment Company, the Stirlingshire, and the Edinburgh and Paisley Building Society. A telephone banking service, Dunfermline Direct, was launched during Spring 1999.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Dunfermline BS )〕 By the end of 2005, the Society had 34 branches and 38 agencies throughout Scotland. Around 20% of its business is generated outwith Scotland. The Society also has a large commercial lending book and is leading the way in investment in social housing.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Scotsman )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dunfermline Building Society」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
