Leeds extends London instant access account

Leeds Building Society, which launched the exclusive and market leading London Instant Access Account paying 2.55%, has extended its availability.

The account, which also offers instant access at any time and has a minimum investment of only £100, is available through the Society's London Branch.

Kim Rebecchi, Leeds Building Society's Sales and Marketing Director said, "The new Metro Bank opened amidst much fanfare, however their savings portfolio has nothing that can match our London Instant Access Account at 2.55%.

"This exclusive product has been very popular and exceeded our expectations. Clearly, savings customers like a simple and straightforward account with a great rate of 2.55% and 100% access. Furthermore, unlike many of the products in the market there are no catches and no requirements to open any linked accounts.

"I would recommend this account as an essential addition to a customer's investment portfolio. Our friendly and welcoming staff are looking forward to welcoming customers to our Branch at 41 Kingsway, WC2B 6TP.

"The Society has recently won an award for ‘Best Regional Branch Network' in the Your Money Direct Awards 2010 which is evidence of the superb customer service our staff provide. Leeds Building Society has excellent customer service, as well as very competitive products. Evidence of this was that we received two awards, in the 2010 Moneyfacts Awards, for ‘Best Notice Account Provider' and ‘Best No Notice Account Provider.'

"We are confident that this award winning combination will continue to serve customers well in Holborn."
