Yorkshire Building Society is the third largest building society in the UK,[3] with its headquarters in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England. It is a member of the Building Societies Association. At December 2023, the Society had total assets of more than £60 billion.[4]

The society also owns the Chelsea Building Society and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society, as well as Accord Mortgages and the savings business of Egg, which are referred to as the Yorkshire Building Society Group. Collectively the group employs 3,300 staff throughout the UK and serves 3 million members.[5]

The society currently provides financial services both directly and through a 132-strong branch network and 99 associated agencies across the UK. Despite changes in the industry in recent years, Yorkshire Building Society remains one of the major mutual building societies in Britain – a review in 1995 confirmed that their mutual status was important to them, so that they remain answerable to their members, rather than outside shareholders.
