Skipton Building Society

Skipton Building Society was founded in 1853. Today Skipton is the 7th largest UK building society and is a leading financial services provider with assets of around £8.6 billion.

It is run for the benefit of its members and is committed to mutuality.

As a mutual organisation it does not have shareholders to pay dividends to and so it can re-invest profits to provide more competitive rates.

Skipton has 79 branches from Aberdeen to Plymouth.

Skipton has the following types of mortgages available:

  • Fixed Rate
  • Tracker
  • Discount
  • Variable Rate
