Furness Affinity Account

Open an account today – YOU SAVE, WE GIVE.

You can open an affinity account from as little as £1 and pay in as little or as much as you like up to a maximum of £250,000.

The affinity accounts can potentially give you a higher than normal return on your savings. This is because your savings are 'pooled' and therefore the interest rate is determined by the overall balance in the affinity scheme. You will receive your own passbook and complete confidentiality with regard to your transactions and the amount you save.

By opening an affinity account you will be helping us support our affinity partners because Furness Building Society will make a cash payment each year equal to 1% of the average balance held in their affinity account.  So the more you save, the more your chosen charity or organisation will benefit.
