Skipton Building Society has just announced its half year figures showing group assets now standing at more than £4 billion.
The society, which was founded in 1853, has been growing in recent years and is now boasting eighth position in Britain's building society top ten.
Top of the charts are the Nationwide, Bradford and Bingley, Britainnia and Yorkshire.
The group bought estate agency Connell Limited two years ago which has 139 branches in 27 counties.
It is just one of the society's arms, which also includes share shop Dealwise, in Leeds, and its mortgage interests.
Group assets of £4.08 billion represent a growth of 19.54 per cent year on year over the previous half yearly results.
Skipton's chief executive and director John Goodfellow said: "Once again we have managed to deliver increasing value to our members and shown substantial growth in assets, while generating a level of profit that allows us the opportunity to further invest in the business."
