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!
On opening a Blue & Amber account you'll receive 2 match tickets† to either a Super League or a Rugby Union National League One game.
What’s more, as a Blue & Amber account
holder you’ll be entered into a bi-monthly
prize draw to win great “money can’t buy”
prizes from Leeds Rugby.
Prizes will include:
- A day with the Head Coach of the Leeds Carnegie or
Rhinos' team
- Match day hospitality for 4 people - with a
special VIP guest, for example, with former
Rhinos and GB legend Barrie McDermott
- A day with the players - watch them train then
join them for their post training lunch
- Win the chance to be Ronnie’s mascot - run
out onto the pitch with Ronnie at a game of
your choice
- A coaching session with your favourite player
for your school or club
- Your favourite player to accompany you to
school and have lunch with you and your
class mates.
†Leeds Rugby will send you your tickets,
