Building Society in Crunch Talks

Dunfermline Building Society, which has 34 branches across the country and almost 500 employees, was founded 140 years ago. It is Scotland’s biggest building society.
However, it emerged at the end of last week that the group was in serious cash flow trouble and facing losses of multi-million pounds. The group now remains in intensive talks with the financial regulator over its future. It is understood many of Dunfermline’s woes stem from its exposure to bad loans in the commercial property market.
Though Dunfermline would not comment on speculation about its finances, there has been speculation that it could announce losses of up to £26m.
