The Yorkshire have teamed up with Sheffield United FC to bring you our Blades account. The account gives you the opportunity to help SUFC and earn an attractive rate of interest for yourself. In fact, you're sure to be part of a winning team if you open an account.
The minimum opening balance is £100, and you must have at least £25 in your account at all times. Savers aged under 18 can open an account with only £1.
With the Blades Account you have two withdrawal days per calendar month to make withdrawals from any of our branches (including a closing withdrawal). No notice is required for cash withdrawals up to £1,000 and cheque withdrawals up to £150,000. Amounts over this may require a few days' notice. If it is more convenient for you to use one of our local Agencies rather than a branch, you can withdraw up to £250 or £500 in cash (depending on the type of Agency) or up to £10,000 by cheque. Again, amounts above this may require a few days' notice.
We give the Club a cash payment equal to 1% of the average balance fans hold in their accounts in the twelve months up to 31 March every year.
If you already have an account with us, you can transfer funds to a Blades Account, subject to the terms applying to that account, and still help earn the Club a cash bonus.
You have the option to manage your account online. For example, you can check your balance, transfer money to another account or view your tax and interest rate details. To take advantage of this facility, you will need to register for online services once you have opened the account. Find out more about what you can do online.

Whether you can benefit from gross, net or tax free interest is dependent on your own personal circumstances and tax status and so may be subject to change in the future.
Interest rates are variable. All rates shown are per annum.
Gross rate p.a.
Interest rate payable before any income tax is deducted. It can only be paid subject to the required registration.
Net rate p.a.
Interest rate payable after the deduction of income tax, at the lower rate of 20%.
AER
AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and shows what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and added each year. This will enable you to compare more easily the return you can expect from your savings over time.
This savings account can be operated in various ways but must be opened at a branch or via the post.
Note: When applying for a YBS account you will need to verify your identity and address. Check our Verifying your Identity section for more details of what you may need to take with you.
