Affinity Savings Accounts

Woman supports local charity fundraising with an Affinity Savings account from Marsden Building Society

Our Affinity savings accounts give you easy access to your savings and the opportunity to support a good cause. You can choose to support Pendleside Hospice, Trinity Hospice, North West Air Ambulance or the Marsden Building Society Charitable Foundation. The more you save, the more we donate!

If you're planning on visiting a branch to open a savings account, please phone the branch before you visit to check if an appointment will be required. Branch telephone numbers can be found on our 'Find a Branch' page.

More details

An Affinity Saver makes annual donations to local causes without costing you a penny. When opening an affinity savings account with us, you can select one of four causes to support and still earn interest on your savings. The more you save in the account, the more funds you raise for your chosen charity.

Our Affinity Saver donates the equivalent of 0.50% of our total average affinity balances to the chosen charity. Plus, all of the money donated comes out of our pocket, not yours.

In 2024, we donated over £14,000 to the North West Air Ambulance and £9,000 to Pendleside Hospice, thanks to our Affinity Saver account holders.

Savers can choose to support either the North West Air Ambulance, Pendleside Hospice, Trinity Hospice or the Marsden Building Society Charitable Foundation.

Our branch Affinity Saver can be opened and managed in any of our branches. Once the account has been opened in a branch, account holders can register for eSavings to view the account online.
