The Giants Saver

Both you and Huddersfield Giants are winners with The Giants Saver account from Leeds Building Society.

The Giants Saver is a savings account that offers you great rates and access to your money - while supporting the 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.
