Leeds Building Society is a member of the Building Societies' Association. The Society is a participant in the
Financial Services Compensation Scheme established under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. Payments under the Scheme are limited to a maximum of £50,000 or €50,000 (whichever figure is higher on the day of default) of an investor's total shares and/or deposits in a society. Most investors are covered, including individuals and small firms. A small number of categories of shares and deposits are not covered, for example deferred shares - permanent interest bearing shares. Although most shares and deposits are denominated in sterling, all other currencies are covered. Further details are available on request from the Society.
The Society is covered by the Financial Ombudsman Service. We may monitor and/or record your telephone conversation with the Society to ensure consistent service levels (including staff training). The Society's main business is the provision of savings products, mortgages and general insurance. The Society offers some investment products that may be operated through branches and by post and certain products which can be operated by post only.
