| | Victoria Mutual Building Society - where tradition embraces innovation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15) |
 | | Prominent among the other local building societies (outside of Victoria Mutual) is Jamaica National Building Society, which has done well over the last 30 years, having emerged from the Westmoreland Building Society and merging later with a number of other smaller building societies. |
 | | There was formerly a host of other local building societies, such as the St. Ann Benefit Building Society, Brown's Town Benefit Building Society, Northern Benefit Building Society and the St. Thomas Benefit Building Society, which generally all went the amalgamation route. |
 | | These two are proprietary building societies, meaning that they are owned by specific interests, as distinct from the mutual building societies - the Victoria Mutual, Jamaica National, JSL - where the savers own the societies. |
