Since 1864 Yorkshire Building Society has helped people save and take steps towards secure, sustainable homes. Our purpose is to deliver Real Help with Real Life - this means members coming together to make good homes possible for more people.
The Society has three main office locations in Bradford, Leeds, and Peterborough.
As of the end of 2025, Yorkshire Building Society had assets of £66.3 billion and more than 3 million customers across the YBS Group, including Chelsea Building Society and Norwich & Peterborough Building Society, which are trading names of Yorkshire Building Society. Its subsidiary companies include Accord Mortgages Limited.
Yorkshire Building Society is committed to building a sustainable future for its members, colleagues, communities, and the UK. As a mutual organisation owned by its members rather than external shareholders, we reward members with consistently great savings rates and reinvest our profits to improve our services and build a stronger Society. Our members know they’ll receive fair rewards and that their money is making a positive difference.
Yorkshire Building Society’s charity partnership with FareShare will run until Autumn 2026 and aims to raise £1million to support the charity’s Building Skills for the Future programme. This will help support, equip and prepare 2,500 people to enter employment. The partnership will see the creation of employability programmes in seven of the charity’s regional centres: Edinburgh, London, Bristol, Milton Keynes, Leeds, Barnsley, and Cardiff.
Since 1999, Yorkshire Building Society Charitable Foundation has donated more than £10million to local charities and good causes across the UK. The Charitable Foundation is funded through the Small Change Big Difference® scheme where members donate the pennies from the interest on their accounts just once a year to support UK charities and good causes.
