The Abbey National Building Society was formed following the merger of the Abbey Road Building Society and the National Building Society in 1944.
On 12 July 1989, Abbey became a plc and floated on the London Stock Exchange. The share price at the time was £1.30.
In August 1996, Abbey National merged with the National and Provincial Building Society. Our branch network increased by almost 200 and we gained three million customers.
On 26 July 2004, Abbey and Banco Santander announced that they had reached agreement on the terms of a recommended acquisition by Banco Santander of Abbey. Following shareholders' approval at Abbey's and Santanders EGMs, the acquisition was formally approved by the courts and Abbey became part of the Grupo Santander Group on 12 November 2004.
