The Cheshire Building Society was founded in 1870 as a Permanent Benefit Society, an organization to let local tradesman pool resources for building homes and places of business, issuing loans to shareholders and providing insurance.

Over the course of the next thirty years, it expanded its operation, and in the 1970s century, started a process of acquisitions of other Permanent Benefit Societies throughout England, eventually acquiring 13 other Permanent Benefit Societies.

The Cheshire managed to avoid the demutualisation fad of the 1990s, sticking predominantly to home loans, lines of personal credit and savings services. In the course of its acquisitions, it has grown to be the 11th largest financial institution in Britain; while it has offices and branches across most of the country, it is focused primarily around its headquarters in Macclesfield. It is the sponsor of record for the Macclesfield football union.
