Leeds Building Society

Leeds Building Society was founded in 1875, and is now the UK's fifth largest building society.

As a building society, it's owned by its members. This means it doesn't answer to shareholders, so can focus on providing its members with great service instead.

Leeds Building Society offers savings accounts and mortgages, but no current accounts. Home insurance is arranged by Leeds Building Society and provided by Uinsure. Life cover is provided by Legal & General.
