Nottingham Forest Saver

We’ve joined forces with Nottingham Forest Football Club to bring you the perfect savings account for Forest fans. There’s no better way to show your support because for every £1 you save and keep in the account for a year, we’ll donate 1% to the Nottingham Forest Youth Academy.

Supporting your club

As you start to build up money in your account, your support will grow too. Every year we’ll send NFFC Youth Academy a cheque equal to 1% of the average amount saved in your account between 1 September and 31 August.

The more you save, the more interest you’ll earn, which means more in your account and even more support for your favourite football team.

Your interest

We’ll pay your interest on 1 September every year, and send you an interest statement that month.

Paying money in

You can pay money into your account at any branch of The Nottingham up to a maximum of £250,000.

The most you can save in The Nottingham Forest Saver account is £250,000.

Taking money out

You can make up to six instant-access withdrawals per calendar year. Limiting yourself to six withdrawals is a great way to steadily build up funds – brilliant if you’re saving towards something in particular, like a special holiday or even a really flashy pair of football boots!

You must keep at least £10 in your account at all times.

How to open a Nottingham Forest Saver account
