Savings

Blades Account - more detail

Opening 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.

Withdrawing money

The Blades Account permits you to make two withdrawals per calendar month 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.

And United benefits

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.

Online Services

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. Find out more about what you can do online or take a look at our online savings demo. To take advantage of this facility, you will need to register for online services once you have opened the account. 

Transferring to the Blades Account

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.
