About Yorkshire Building Society

Yorkshire Building Society (YBS) is the third biggest building society in the UK. It was established in 1864 in Halifax and has around 3 million members. The society offers a range of financial products and services, such as savings accounts, mortgages, insurance, and investments to its members.

As a building society, YBS is owned by its members rather than shareholders. It operates in the UK through its network of branches and intermediary channels, such as mortgage brokers and financial advisers. YBS considers ethical and sustainable values an essential part of its operations and aims to be a responsible and trustworthy financial institution.

For mortgages, YBS offers first-time buyer, remortgage, buy-to-let, and offset mortgages. YBS's insurance products include home, car, and travel insurance. Also, YBS provides a range of investment solutions, such as individual savings accounts (ISA) and investment bonds.
