Leeds Building Society.
About Leeds Building Society.
Leeds Building Society was established as the Leeds and
Holbeck (Permanent) Building Society back in 1875. In March 2005, at the
Society's Annual General Meeting, the members made the decision to change the
name to Leeds Building Society and this became effective on 12 September 2005.
On 1 August 2006, following approval by the Mercantile members and confirmation
by the Financial Services Authority (FSA), Leeds Building Society merged with
Mercantile Building Society. They are authorised and regulated by the FSA.
