I've been a small-scale saver with the Yorkshire Building Society for about 10 years. My experience has been that they're a pretty average organization in terms of the products and savings rates they offer - they're not a great deal better, but certainly no worse than many of their high street competitors. Their internet banking is trouble-free ...  Read the complete review

I recently signed up online for a new internet saver account with the Yorkshire after becoming annoyed at my current building society interest rate. The Yorkshire Building Society pays currently 2.08% before tax on their monthly interest savings rate for the internet- good at the present time - my 90 day notice account is only 0.5% higher! The ...  Read the complete review

Back in December 2007 I was hunting for a mortgage as one of my friends was moving abroad and wanted to sell his house on the cheap, as we weren't actively looking to buy a house at the time, we had little by way of deposit and therefore most banks and building societies wouldn't look twice at us and if they did, they wanted to add on huge fees ...  Read the complete review

I have just opened an account with the Yorkshire Building Society. I didn't want to, but we eventually had little or no alternative. Sounds odd to you? Let me tell you our story. As most of you know Dave and I have recently purchased a house in Llandudno and my parents have moved in with us. They occupy the ground floor of the house ...  Read the complete review

The Yorkshire is the 3rd biggest building society in the UK. It’s products are often in the Best Buy tables, and it’s hailed as a mutual hero. The YBS has it’s own charity, the YBS foundation, which all members promise to give their windfalls to should, in the unlikely event, the society become plc in the 5 years ...  Read the complete review

I have been with the Yorkshire Building Society for about 6 years now. I first started with them because I couldn't open a bank account for love nor money, just a building society account. I joined up for their cashcard account. It was ok at first but I advise anyone not to get a direct debit paid from this account as I have experienced more ...  Read the complete review

YBS is a committed Building Society and states that they willnot give up there mutual status i.e. the account holders are also the share holders. As a result they always offer very good rates of interest on their accounts. They are rarely the bast rates of interest, but then many banks use "teaser" rats to acquire ...  Read the complete review

This is a really good instant access account which we opened when our daughter was born with just £10 (which you have to keep in as a minimum balance). It pays interest twice a year at the end of June and December which is quite good because they get interest on their interest. A really good thing about this account is it ...  Read the complete review
