Review of the Yorkshire Building Society, Cash ISA:

Great interest while it lasts!

Saving interest rates are poor these days, and when my ISA matured, after checking comparison sites found that Yorkshire Building Society were offering the best interest rate at that time - a market leading 2% per annum! I made an appointment at the branch office and the adviser couldn't have been more helpful. She arranged the transfer from my old ISA account, all the paperwork went through satisfactorily and the documents arrived in good time. The ISA fixed-rate bond matured at 18 months, but I was extremely disappointed to see that the YBS were only prepared to offer derisory interest rates of 1.2% for a new 1-year bond, or 1.3% for 2 years. The Bank of England rate hasn't changed within the time that I have held this account, and I couldn't understand why the building society were offering such poor rates on maturity of bonds. Were they hoping that customers would accept their poor offer and lose out on a better rate? It seemed mean to me! I have (again) checked comparison rates, and am in the process of transferring the ISA account to a financial institution which values their customers. My husband will also do the same when his YBS ISA matures shortly. Because of Yorkshire Building Society's lack of loyalty to customers, they are going to lose out on a considerably amount of money! I advise customers to vote with their feet! Reviewed on: 9th August 2015

Easy to use app and good rates

Hassle free banking, and regular interest rate rises. Reviewed on: 12th March 2023

Great interest rates, particularly for loyal customers

Unlike many banks, The Yorkshire reward loyalty. Remain with them as a member and you get very good rates. Okay, the branch network is a bit weak in The South, but they are worth searching out and have a good 0n-line presence Reviewed on: 10th March 2023
