Yorkshire Building Society
Yorkshire Building Society (YBS) is a UK mutual building society founded in 1864 and headquartered in Bradford, West Yorkshire. As a member-owned mutual rather than a shareholder-owned bank, it is owned by and run for the benefit of its savers and borrowers, with more than three million customers and around £66 billion in assets across the YBS Group, which trades under the Yorkshire Building Society, Chelsea Building Society (CBS), Norwich & Peterborough and Accord Mortgages brands. YBS is authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the PRA as an FCA-authorised ASPSP. Although it is not one of the CMA9 banks mandated to build Open Banking, YBS is a voluntary participant in the UK Open Banking / PSD2 ecosystem and operates a public developer portal at developers.ybs.co.uk that documents its OBIE Read/Write API family - Account Information (AIS), Payment Initiation (PIS), Confirmation of Funds (CBPII), Event Subscriptions, Dynamic Client Registration, and token issuance - conformant to the Open Banking Implementation Entity (OBIE) Read/Write Data API Standard v3.1.2. Access to the production and sandbox surfaces (ob-ybs.api.ybs.co.uk / ob-che.api.ybs.co.uk and the matching sandbox hosts) is secured with FAPI-grade OAuth2/OIDC, PSD2 strong customer authentication, mutual-TLS transport authentication and PS256-signed JWTs, and is available to FCA-authorised third-party providers holding eIDAS/OBIE certificates.
