BKM402775 - Banking surcharge: definition of banking company: excluded entities: other companies

An entity is also an excluded entity if it is a:

  • friendly society
  • credit union
  • a building society

A building society remains a banking company even though it is an excluded entity this is because a building society as defined in BKM402200 will always be a banking company. Unlike a company, it does not need to meet conditions A to E to be a banking company.
