KRPS claims on its website that "...it is in the members' best interests to retain a structure that can allow for continued mutuality (through KRPS), rather than bring about an outright demutualisation [of KRBS].",[4] however, this could change in the future if KRPS reduces its stake in OneSavings Bank.[5]

All members of the former Kent Reliance Building Society became members of KRPS on 1 February 2011.[6]
