Yorkshire
Bank was founded in 1859 in Halifax, West Yorkshire. During the
19th century the Bank became known as Yorkshire Penny Bank and by
1866 the number of branches reached their peak at 955 and, in 1874,
the first school banks were launched. Yorkshire Bank developed into
one of the most profitable regional banks in the United Kingdom
and, since 1990, they have been a member of the National Australia
Bank, an international financial services group which at September
2007 had assets of more than £265 billion, 8 million banking
customers and more than 2.3 million wealth management clients.
Yorkshire
Bank are now the principal English arm of the National Australia
Bank Group's UK operations.
Yorkshire Bank has a network of over 190 retail branches which stretches
from Newcastle in the north to London in the south, Hereford in
the west to Peterborough in the east.
Yorkshire Bank was re-accredited with the Investors in People in
2005, a status now enjoyed by the whole of the Group's UK operations,
reflecting the value the Bank places on training and developing
its people. In addition, Yorkshire Bank was voted "Best Regional
Lender" 2006 by Your Mortgage Magazine, an award which we have
won for the past eight years.
