Building Societies Act 1965

Investment and borrowing

56B: Borrowing powers

You could also call this:

"Building societies can borrow money with certain rules"

You can borrow money if you are part of a building society. This means you can get money from someone else and agree to pay it back later. You can decide how you want to borrow the money and what rules to follow when you pay it back. But, you need to check if your building society has any special rules about borrowing money. If they do, you must follow those rules too. This is allowed because of two parts of the law called section 9A and section 9B.
