Opening an account is easy
Simply visit any branch to open an account or send your application to our Principal Office.
- You can open your account with a minimum opening balance of £1 - by cash, debit card, cheque, electronic payment or transfer from another Skipton Building Society account.
- You can withdraw money whenever you like (subject to the £250 daily cash limit)
- You can save up to £50,000.
- If you are under eight years old, an adult must open the account for you and will be called the ‘operator’. They’ll need to sign a withdrawal slip anytime you want to take money out of your account. Over the age of eight, you can do it all yourself.
- Whatever your age, we’ll send all the details about your savings directly to you by post.
