Blue & Amber

Both you and Leeds Rugby are winners with the Blue & Amber account from Leeds Building Society

The Blue & Amber is a savings account that offers you great rates and access to your
money - while supporting your Club. Each year, Leeds Building Society will make a donation to the Club equivalent to 1% of the total balances held in the account - and it doesn’t cost you a thing!

The more you save, the more the Club receives - and with tiered interest rates - the higher the interest you receive on your savings.

Great special Offers!
