Savers name the Yorkshire top of the High Street

Savers have voted Yorkshire Building Society top of the High Street, with the award-winning mutual being named Best High Street Savings Provider in the 2012 Moneyfacts Consumer Awards.

The Society was also Highly Commended in the First Time Buyer Mortgage Buyers' Choice category.

The award follows several others already presented to the Yorkshire this year, including Moneynet's Best Overall Mortgage Provider, Best Online Mortgage Provider and Best Offset Mortgage Provider.

The Moneyfacts Consumer Awards showcase the very best financial sector products available to the public. The aim of the awards is to give the UK's millions of customers a voice and a chance to reflect how they feel about the range of financial products available to them.

Moneyfacts' researchers combine honest customer feedback with research into product features, rates and consistency to reveal which provider is an 'all rounder'.

Sarah Lawrence, Group Savings Product Manager collected the award for the Society and commented: "We are absolutely delighted to be named Moneyfacts' Best High Street Savings Provider.

"Over 60,000 people completed the Moneyfacts Consumer Survey, with the research team having over 500,000 answers to analyse, making it the largest annual survey of its kind.  For the Yorkshire to win this award means we are seen as a market leading savings provider by the people who really matter - our customers - and we're delighted to be recognised for the great value products and excellent customer service we provide."
