As you know, Mercantile and Leeds Building Societies have merged in August 2006. We would like to welcome you and hope this page provides all you need to know about the Society.

The new Society is known as Leeds Building Society and is 100% committed
to remaining an independent mutual building society - with our members’ interests at the heart of everything we do.

A few facts about Leeds Building Society

• The merged Society is the eighth largest in the UK
• We have 68 branches across the UK and one in Gibraltar - view our branches
• Leeds Building Society has over 650,000 members and more then £8bn in assets

We’re also very proud of our customer service! An independent research company regularly talks to a sample of our customers, we consistently find that more than 9 out of 10 of them are satisfied or very satisfied with our service and the same number would recommend Leeds Building Society to their friends or family. We offer a full range of financial products - and it’s our aim to always try to save you money, make you money or provide protection for you and your family.

We have savings accounts for longer term investors or for those who still want easy access to their money whilst receiving a competitive return. Perhaps you want to maximise you tax-free allowances with an ISA, or find a good home for your Child Trust Fund voucher? Leeds Building Society will have the account to suit your needs.

As a building society, you would expect us to have competitive mortgages, but we also offer Buy to Let, 100%, Self-build and Shared Ownership mortgages. And if you have ever wanted to buy that holiday home in the sun, we can help there too.
