Skipton Building Society - Recommend a Friend

£250 for you. £250 for your friend.

We’re making it more rewarding for you to introduce family and friends to us with this special offer.

If you introduce someone you know to financial advice at Skipton, and they go ahead with our advice, you’ll receive £250 each.

You’d like to recommend someone you know

We’re here to help as many people as possible get more from their money. And as someone who knows the importance of long-term financial planning, you could play a key part in helping us to do that.

The person you’re recommending can be anyone you know: a friend, family member or even a work colleague. Even better, you can recommend us to as many people as you like. (This person cannot be a spouse, civil partner or co-habiting partner. And can't currently have any money invested with Skipton's advice).

What you need to do

1. Recommend us

Simply tell your friend or family member that you think they could benefit from our help. (The person you’re recommending will need at least £20,000 to invest or be happy to commit to investing at least £500 per month. If they have existing investments, they would like us to review, they need to be worth at least £50,000.)

2. Send them our way

If they’re interested, point them our way. You can ask them to visit this website or get them to scan the QR code on the flyer if you have one.

3. That's your job done

If the person you refer takes us up on our advice, we’ll send you £250 each. 

Someone you know has recommended us

Great, we’d love to help you too.

  • Perhaps you want to get your savings working harder over the long-term (5+ years).
  • You’d like to discover more options for building your wealth.
  • You’re wanting to plan with confidence for major goals – like a fulfilling retirement.
  • You’re looking to leave a stronger legacy for your loved ones.

Whatever it is, we’re here to listen to you and understand your all-important needs. We want to help you find a solution that’s right for you – and hopefully give you and your friend an extra £250 in your back pockets.

What you need to do

1. Speak to us

Visit your local branch or request a callback, so we can have a quick chat to check our advice service is right for you. Our advice service is available if you have at least £20,000 to invest or are happy to commit to investing at least £500 per month. If you have existing investments, you would like us to review, they need to be worth at least £50,000.

2. Book a review

Next, we’ll arrange for you to have a review with one of our expert financial advisers. They’ll take time to find out all about you and your attitude to risk, and put together a financial plan that’s tailored to your needs.

3. Review your options

Then it’s time for you to go away and have a think. You can take the time you need to work out if our advice could be worth it – there’s no pressure to take up our recommendations.

If you decide to act on our advice, you and the person who recommended us will receive £250 each.

What you could benefit from

Trusted expertise

We’ve over 35 years’ experience in offering a financial advice service.

Personalised recommendations

No upfront cost to hear our advice

A fee only applies if you decide to take our advice and you’re under no pressure to act. Plus, we’ll let you know the amount before you decide.

Flexible financial advice to suit you

We offer appointments in branch, or you can have one from the comfort of your own home through video link.
