The society was registered as the Leeds and Holbeck (Permanent) Building Society in 1875,[4] though the society originated from a group called the Leeds Union Operative Land and Building Society which formed in 1845.[5]
It should not be confused with the defunct Leeds Permanent Building Society, which was also known as The Leeds, which merged with the Halifax Building Society on 1 August 1995.[6]
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, in North Shields, an area of North Tyneside, in Tyne and Wear.[7][8]
Sponsorship
[edit | edit source]The Leeds Building Society is also the main shirt sponsor of the Super League rugby league side Leeds Rhinos.[9]
