Yorkshire Building Society celebrates double success at finance awards

Yorkshire Building Society has celebrated double success at the 2014 Moneyfacts Finance Awards at the Tower of London.

The mutual picked up Best Longer Term Fixed Rate Mortgage Provider and Best Building Society Savings Provider.

Yorkshire Building Society, celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2014, was praised for the stability and good value offered by its mortgages while it was also described as “the leading savings account provider in the building society sector”.

Chris Pickstone, Yorkshire Building Society’s head of Mortgages and Savings, said: “We are delighted to pick up these prestigious awards. To be recognised in these two major sectors of our business is an outstanding achievement and is testament to the hard work and commitment of our staff.

“Our members are always at the heart of what we do so that is why it’s so rewarding to hear Moneyfacts praising the “stability and certainty” we provide to borrowers.”

Norwich and Peterborough Building Society, part of the YBS Group, was also named Best Building Society Mortgage Provider for its “impressive mortgage range and consistent market-leading deals” and Best Short Term Fixed Rate Mortgage Provider.
