Make Saving Easy with a Rosemere Affinity Account
Published on Tuesday, 30 August 2011
The Furness Building Society will be at Royal Preston Hospital to promote the Rosemere Affinity Account to staff and members of the public on Friday 9th September.
Saving with the Rosemere Affinity Account gives you a higher rate of interest because it is calculated on the total assets of the scheme overall rather than your personal balance. And at no cost to you, Rosemere receives an annual donation from the Furness equal to 1% of the average balance held in all accounts so you can be sure that by saving with a Rosemere Affinity Account you are helping to support cancer treatment in Lancashire and South Cumbria.
