While many high street banks are withdrawing from towns and communities, Leek Building Society is proud to maintain a strong presence in Hanley. Located on Stafford Street since 1962, our Hanley branch has been a trusted part of the local community for over 60 years, providing personal, face-to-face financial support for savings and mortgage members. 

Led by Branch Manager Kieran, the dedicated team at Hanley understands the value of being there when our members need us most. 

"We know how important it is for people to have real conversations about their finances, especially during uncertain times," said Kieran. "Our team is proud to offer that friendly, expert support right here in Hanley, where we've been for generations."

Leek Building Society continues to evolve, offering the convenience of online and mobile services alongside our traditional in-branch experience. Whether members prefer to manage their money digitally or speak to someone face-to-face, we're here to help. 

"We understand that some people still prefer face-to-face interactions when managing their finances," said Ian Burton Head of Branch Network and Customer Support at Leek Building Society. "We're proud to continue offering this in-person service, while also embracing the flexibility of online solutions to ensure our members can bank in the way that works best for them." 

With a proud heritage and a forward-looking approach, the Hanley branch remains committed to helping local people with saving, everyday banking, and expert advice. 

A local customer shared their thoughts: "We use Leek Building Society for all our savings. After consulting with the staff at their Hanley Branch we were confident in our ISA planning.

"All the staff have excellent product knowledge and what makes this building society special is that they all make you feel welcome and valued as a customer." * 

All 12 of the Society's branches proactively connect with their local communities by hosting various events and fundraisers throughout the year.  

From the week commencing 19 May, the Society's Hanley branch is hosting a Savings Focus Week. Three savings specialists will be in the branch to provide friendly advice on how you can save smarter and reach your financial goals.

Anyone is welcome to pop into the branch throughout the week to gain valuable insight on how to grow their savings.
