What is Yorkshire Building Society Charitable Foundation?
The Charitable Foundation is a registered charity which provides financial assistance to local charities and good causes, and acts as a focus for our charitable giving.
It forms part of our commitment to such charities and good causes and actively seeks to obtain recommendations for suitable charities to support from all members.
For further details about the Charitable Foundation, contact your local Barnsley branch or visit the Yorkshire’s website.
Why have a Charitable Foundation?
To avoid disruption to our business by speculators, all new members of Yorkshire Building Society, which therefore includes new account holders with the Barnsley, must agree to assign any windfall benefits to which they might become entitled to the Yorkshire Building Society Charitable Foundation. In certain circumstances we may not apply this requirement, e.g. on the death of a saver (who was not charitably assigned) where money is transferred to a new account opened by a beneficiary.
This agreement applies to account holders with Barnsley Building Society as your membership is with Yorkshire Building Society.
This agreement to assign will continue for five years from the date you become a member, irrespective of the number of accounts you open with us during that time. Provided that you remain a member of the Yorkshire Building Society, after the end of the five-year period you may keep any windfall conversion benefits that you might become entitled to and you may, at any time, open further accounts without being subject to the charitable assignment provision.
Barnsley Building Society and the Barnsley are trading names of Yorkshire Building Society. Principal office: Yorkshire House, Yorkshire Drive, Bradford BD5 8LJ.
Yorkshire Building Society is a member of the Building Societies Association and is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority and are entered in the FSA register and our FSA registration number is 106085.
