You'll notice that we talk about 'members' and not 'customers'. And there's never a mention of 'shareholders'. This is because Leeds Building Society is proudly a mutual society. We are owned by our members, the people who have mortgages and savings with us. If you're used to dealing with the banks, this might sound revolutionary, but it's how we've worked for 140 years.

With all that experience, we know exactly how to design financial products to meet the ever-changing needs of our members' lives and all the little surprises life brings. At Leeds Building Society, our members come first, and have done for 140 years. Whether you're thinking about becoming a member but want to get to know us better first, or you're an existing member keeping up to date on offers, deals and news, Your Society is for you.

Why choose us Report

Here at Leeds Building Society we've been helping people save money and have the home they want for over 140 years. Since the very beginning we've been a mutual, owned by and run entirely in the interests of our members - the people who have savings and mortgages with us. A big part of that means having a wide and award-winning range of savings accounts and mortgages.

Society history Report

We've been a mutual right from the very beginning. Our origins can actually be traced back to 1845 when a group of people formed the Leeds Union Operative Land and Building Society. Back then, ordinary people struggled to find lenders and somewhere to call home for the long term. Mutuals answered that call by allowing people in working communities to save and borrow, so they could get the home they wanted and support their families.

Savings Report

When it comes to tax and your savings, the tax treatment depends on your individual circumstances, which may change in the future. Your eligible deposits with Leeds Building Society are protected up to a total of 85,000 by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, the UK's deposit guarantee scheme.

Cash ISAs Report

Here's where you can take a look at our range of Cash ISAs. Offering a mix of fixed and variable rates - as well as instant and limited access - simply choose which one works best for you. AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and added each year.

Bonds Report

If you're looking for a guaranteed fixed rate - and you don't mind locking away your money for a while in return - then you've come to the right place. AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and added each year. Gross means the rate of interest payable before the deduction of income tax at the rate specified by law.

Great service but keep on changing the times instead of keeping to the same schedule and they don't do cash cards if people need to get money out to pay bills on time they can't and that's why a card would great

Excellent service. Carol and team put their customers first. My first visit, provided assurance (and I might say their own hand sanitiser!!) cannot praise them enough

I looked on line for the nearest branch to where i live and the website lists 84 High Street, Ilford. I took a train and walk to this branch (c45 minutes) and found The Halifax at this address where i was told that The Leeds were at 84 High Street, Barkingside! I would suggest that you correct this listing on your website.
