YORKSHIRE Building Society has picked up a handful of awards for its mortgages and savings accounts.

The Society won a trio of mortgage awards at the 10th Moneynet Personal Finance Awards 2020, being named Best Overall Mortgage Provider, Best Offset Mortgage Provider and Best First Time Buyer Mortgage Provider.

Charles Mungroo, senior mortgage product manager, said: “We’re really pleased to start 2020 with this recognition for our mortgage range.

"Whether it’s helping people take their first step onto the property ladder, moving house or making the most of their money with our offset accounts, these awards show that our mortgages are meeting homeowners’ needs.”

In recognition of the savings accounts it offered to customers last year, Yorkshire Building Society, which has its headquarters in Bradford, was also crowned Best Building Society Savings Provider.

Louise Halliwell, senior savings product manager, said: “To be named the best building society provider of savings accounts is a great way to start the new decade. We’re proud to be recognised for offering a variety of fixed and variable accounts that help people to save. It’s something we’ve been doing for more than 150 years.”

The Moneynet Personal Finance Awards recognise the top personal finance providers and products over the previous 12 months, highlighting providers that go the extra mile for consumers.
