Leeds Building Society renew as Strategic Partners to continue driving the region’s lending leadership
FinTech North is delighted to announce the renewal of our strategic partnership with Leeds Building Society. A valued and long-standing partner of FinTech North, Leeds Building Society shares our commitment to fostering financial inclusion and innovation in the sector.
As part of this, they actively support the development of FinTech solutions that enhance access to homeownership, helping to drive innovation in the financial services landscape. Together, we will continue to support their mission of making homeownership more accessible through collaboration, thought leadership, and industry engagement.
Leeds Building Society is the UK’s fifth largest building society, with over one million members. The Society’s purpose is putting home ownership within reach of more people, generation after generation. It continues to do today what it was set up to do in 1875 – help people save money and buy their own home. The Society operates as a mutual, developing and innovating its product range and service offer to help members achieve their financial goals.
The Society offers mortgages, savings products, and financial services tailored to the needs of its members. With a strong heritage in Yorkshire, it plays a key role in the financial services ecosystem, championing accessibility and innovation in the housing sector. The Society’s commitment to responsible lending and community-focused values aligns with their mission to make homeownership more achievable for all.
We are thrilled to continue working with such an excellent Leeds-based financial services institution, reinforcing the North as a hub where financial inclusion and access to essential financial services thrive.
Our renewed partnership will see Leeds Building Society take part in speaking opportunities at FinTech North events throughout the year, alongside delivering industry introductions and collaborative content-sharing. They will also appear as brand sponsors at our upcoming Leeds conference, where they will share valuable insights on lending, homeownership, some of the region’s key sub-sector specialisms.
Joe Roche, General Manager, FinTech North:
“It’s fantastic to build on our long-standing relationship with Leeds Building Society, a purpose-driven financial services institution at the heart of Yorkshire’s financial sector.

“We’ve had a close and productive relationship with FinTech North for a number of years now and are pleased to continue working with them, especially where new FinTech solutions could help to increase home ownership.
