From the Collaborative Bond and Money Market Data Portal
The Bank-Building Society, or Building Society industry consists of financial institutions owned by its members and focuses on savings deposits and lending its deposits for mortgages. Building Societies exist in the United Kingdom and in Australia. They are similar to Credit Unions and Cooperative Banks.
The Industry Sector is a classification that describes the activity of an entity within the economy. The classification is based on where the relevant entity derives the majority of its revenue.
