Yorkshire Bank PPI Claims – A history

Yorkshire Bank is a commercial bank operating in England and Wales.

It is a division of Clydesdale Bank, which is a subsidiary of National Australia Bank.

Founded in 1859 by Colonel Edward Akroyd of Halifax the bank, headquartered in Leeds, originally operated on a non-profit making basis.

Unfortunately, this benevolent approach to banking did not last and indeed it was Yorkshire Bank‘s thirst for profits that led it to mis-sell PPI to their customers in the 1990’s and 2000’s.

History of bad behaviour

Yorkshire Bank has been the subject of investigations by the Financial Services Authority (now the Financial Conduct Authority), for a host of reasons.

As reported in The Telegraph in 2012, Yorkshire Bank was accused of “unwarranted and misguided aggression” for demanding their customer repay a £5 million loan after he complained about being mis-sold an interest rate swap.

This second article in The Telegraph states that Yorkshire Bank are the main lenders to face claims over mis-selling fixed-rate loans.

As for PPI mis-selling, National Australia Bank (owners of Yorkshire Bank) have set aside over £1.2 billion at the time of writing this, with a whopping £420 million added within the last two months.

It appears that National Australia Bank have had enough of being linked to the two toxic banks that are Clydesdale and Yorskhire, recently announcing of their intention to dispose of them both.
