Chief executive Susan Allen said: “Yorkshire Building Society delivered a solid performance for the year ending December 2025, growing our mortgage and savings balances sustainably and sharpening our Purpose, Real Help with Real Life, to set a clear path for the future.
“We continued to provide our members with above market average savings rates and went further to make good homes possible for more people. We launched targeted, innovative products to help overcome the challenges people face in finding a good home and building financial wellbeing. With economic challenges likely to remain in 2026, our renewed Purpose – and the support we offer our customers and communities as one of the UK’s biggest mutuals – matters more than ever.”
Looking ahead, the society said it would continue its focus on its strategic priorities, delivering competitive products and services for its members, and maintaining its financial strength.
It said that it expected high levels of competition in mortgages and savings to persist but that it had “confidence in our business model and financial resilience and are well placed to navigate future challenges or periods of economic uncertainty.”
