Making your money work harder

As a building society, we’re owned by our members. We don’t have shareholders to pay. You get the financial benefits instead.


That’s why we’ve paid higher than average savings rates for the last 10 years. (CACI 2024).


It means more money in your pocket, year after year. But there is so much more to being a YBS member.

Owned by you. Trusted by you.

Rated excellent with over 10,000 reviews on Trustpilot.
