Canary Bond offers Norwich City supporters a winning deal

Supporters of Norwich City Football Club can benefit from a new football club savings bond launched by Norwich & Peterborough Building Society.

The one-year Canary Bond offers a return of 2.25% and is believed to be the first of its kind linked to any Premier League club.

It is the third City affinity account offered by N&P, which has been a partner of the Club since 1992.

N&P pays an annual donation to City based on the amount fans save and the balance held within Canary Bonds will help to grow the total. Since the popular easy access Canary Account and Online Club Saver were launched in 1997 and 2006, the Club has earned £3.6m through affinity donations from N&P.

The limited-issue Canary Bond is available through N&P branches or by post with a minimum opening balance of £1,000 and a maximum of £1m. They are available as single or joint accounts and interest can be earned monthly or annually.

All City fans who open a Canary Bond before December 17 will receive a Norwich City player print signed by their favourite current City player. They will also be entered into a draw with prizes including lunch with City and England goalkeeper John Ruddy at the Club's training ground, a shirt signed by him and a football signed by the first team squad.

Mike Sketch, N&P's Head of Sales and Marketing, said: "We are delighted to be widening our partnership with Norwich City by launching the new Canary Bond, which we think is a first within the Premier League.

"Supporters will benefit from earning a competitive rate on their savings as well as contributing to the annual donation we make to City. We have been proud partners of City for the past 20 years and the new Canary Bond marks another successful milestone in our relationship."

Will Hoy, Norwich City Football Club's Head of Sales and Marketing, said: "This new savings bond is a great deal for fans and the Club alike.

"N&P is a committed and loyal commercial partner of Norwich City and we are delighted it is able to make new and distinctive products available to our supporters."
