Review of the Yorkshire Building Society, Savings:

Falsely promise interest rate increases and ignore emails

Yorkshire BS promised to 'Increase the interest rate on the majority of its variable rate saving accounts by at least 0.25%on the 5th April' I left funds in two variable rate accounts on the basis of this promise. For several days after the 5th April I checked the rates, which did not increase. Looking at all the variable rate accounts, I found that the only one to go up was a childrens account. This is certainly not an increase to the majority of variable rate accounts. I emailed all this information to them a week ago, asking for an explanation. I pointed out that the false promise has cost me money as I would have transferred both accounts to a bank offering much better rates a month ago. They have ignored my email. The false, fraudulent promise is STILL coming up on their website. Make your own decision as to whether this is a company you wish to trust with your savings. I am closing both accounts and will look into reporting them to the relevant authority. Reviewed on: 14th April 2022
