Our annual results are in!

It’s that time of year again. We’ve dotted the i’s and crossed the t’s on our annual results and brought them to you hot off the press…

Supporting our members

In what was an eventful year for the whole country, we once again supported our members by helping them save and have the home they want.

Take our mortgage lending for instance. We delivered net mortgage lending of almost £1 billion – helping us to grow our total mortgage balances at a faster rate than the rest of the market^{^}, despite some challenging conditions.

On the other side of the coin, we’ve paid an average rate of 1.38% to our savers - compared to the rest of market average of 0.75%. That equates to an annual benefit to the Society’s savers of £88.5 million!*

Keeping an eye on the future

Thanks to careful management of our profits in recent years, we’re well placed to help our members in the future too. Our strong financial footing ensures we can look ahead with confidence.

Savings balances

We’re working hard towards developing and future-proofing the digital side of our service. Our aim is to provide an ever-improving online experience for all our members.

Despite a challenging market, we still managed to deliver a robust performance when it came to our profit before tax figures.

On top of that, our planned move to a new head office in the heart of Leeds will help us work even more efficiently, further reducing our environmental footprint and operational costs along the way.
