    Shares from a demutualised building society or insurer

    Look up the society's history on the FCA Mutuals Public Register, then find the successor company on Companies House or with our finder. The successor's investor pages show its registrar. We keep this general and don't promise that any share programme is still open.

    Do this first: official routes

    1. Look up the society's history on the FCA Mutuals Public Register. FCA Mutuals Public Register
    2. Find the successor company on Companies House, or with our finder. Companies House: find and update company information Old Shares Finder

    Then use the free finder

    Type the old company name into the Old Shares Finder. It is free and stores nothing.

    Watch out for scams

    Be wary of anyone who contacts you out of the blue about your shares. Never pay upfront to release money. Check any firm on the FCA register. FCA: ScamSmart FCA Financial Services Register
