I have been a customer of Leeds Building Society since 2022, and I have consistently found that Leeds Building Society offers highly competitive savings rates, which has allowed me to grow my savings effectively and with peace of mind. On the years, I have needed to contact their customer service team with various queries. Each time, I was met with outstanding service – the staff were always knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely willing to help. It is clear that customer satisfaction is a priority for them, as my questions have always been answered promptly and thoroughly. Thanks to their excellent savings options and the consistently high standard of customer care, I plan to continue banking with Leeds Building Society for many years to come. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking a reliable and rewarding place to save. Reviewed on: 19th January 2026

Shambles

1
Opened 5 Cash ISAs for family members. Did all the online checks and set up all the passwords. Received the welcome pack to say all opened and a PIN to activate to the accounts. Went in and did this. Went to go back in to put money in and none of the accounts worked. Was told I need to go into the branch with new ID for each member to open the accounts again. I had spent about 6 hours to this point setting them up. Gave up in the end. Shambles. Reviewed on: 21st May 2025

Very poor administration and customer service

1
Requested a new savings account but to be sent the interest from my existing account. Despite giving written instructions and a phone call also told my request would be actioned. They failed to follow my instructions and I had to cancel the account. To make matters worse they sent me a cheque rather than electronic transfer unlike the other three providers I was with. Woeful administration and glacier like slow responses. Find a better financial institution. Reviewed on: 14th May 2025
