Who Are We?

Not just another building society. Not just another job.

We are the fourth biggest building society in the UK and what makes us a bit different is that we're a mutual organisation. We do not have shareholders; we are owned by our members.

Our colleagues say Skipton Building Society is a great place to work, and you could be one of them, bringing with you new ideas on how we can keep customers at the heart of what we do.

Whatever your background, and whatever your goals, we will help you take the next step towards a better future.

Branch Life

Our branches are the heart of our local communities, however increasingly our customers want the flexibility of doing transactions online and engaging with us via our contact centre. In branch we can support our customers face to face, virtually and by outbound contact so we are reaching our customers at relevant times. So, whether you are promoting a new product or resolving a problem, you will always place our customers’ needs at the heart of everything you do and provide a first-class service every time.

For our customers, you will be more than just the friendly face and voice of Skipton Building Society. You will be a listener, a problem solver and in time a fountain of knowledge to help them achieve their financial goals.
