Having a peek at their site they've got quite a nice link up with the Stroud & Swindon building society where the equivalent 1% of all deposits is donated to the club.
What with the Nationwide links and all perhaps it's one the club/trust/L&P/consortium could look at implementing.
Stroud & Swindon - Support and Save – Melksham Branch The Star

Since the launch earlier this season of Bath Rugby’s partnership with local building society Stroud & Swindon, Bath Rugby supporters in the Melksham area alone have deposited over £100,000 in the new Bath Rugby savings accounts. Zac Feau’nati, who lives in Melksham, popped into the branch last week to meet the staff and gave them a signed ball as a “thank you” from Bath Rugby Community Foundation.
Supporters get a good rate of interest on their savings and in addition, at the end of the season, Bath Rugby Community Foundation will receive a donation from Stroud & Swindon of 1% of the average monthly balances in the accounts.
There are two accounts available.
· An instant access account with a minimum opening deposit of £100.
· A special Junior Bath Rugby Moneybox account with a minimum opening balance of just £5.
Help your child start the savings habit and support Bath Rugby Community by opening a Junior Bath Rugby Moneybox account … and receive a FREE Moneybox.
In addition to Melksham, Stroud & Swindon Building Society have branches in:
- Bath (2A Wood Street)
- Trowbridge
- Bradford on Avon
- Frome
- Swindon
- Keynsham
And many other Branches and Agencies in the South West (please visit their website for full details
