Norwich City Football Club received a cheque for £210,354 from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society (N&P) on Saturday.
The cheque was presented to City’s chief executive, David McNally, on the Carrow Road pitch during half-time of City’s 2-0 Premier League win against Bolton Wanderers.
The Canaries receive an annual bonus payment from N&P from money saved by City supporters through an N&P Canary Account.
The latest figure of £210,354 brings the total amount given to the football club from the Canary Account since it was launched in 1997 to £3.6m.
N&P’s general manager for sales and marketing, Mike Sketch, said: “We’re very proud of our continuing involvement with the Canaries, and are delighted to see a local club in the Premiership and performing so well.
“The passion of the fans is superb, as demonstrated by the amount they’ve raised for the club by saving with N&P.”
The cheque presentation also made it 14 consecutive years that the account has generated a six-figure sum for the club.
Head of sales and marketing at Carrow Road, Will Hoy, added: “Thousands of Norwich City supporters, saving money within the Canary Account, have yet again helped the club receive another considerable cheque from N&P and we thank all our current Canary Account holders on achieving this latest figure.
“We would also like to extend our thanks to N&P as a loyal, long-standing partner of the football club and thank you to all their staff for their continued support.”

In fact, the supporters club should be bringing this to fans attention and starting a rival scheme. Fans could pay money into a trust instaed of the N&P account and this money could be invested into a bond which pays out up to 5 per cent. The fan and the club could take half the inetrest each and everyone would be a lot better off, except N&P.

Orson - this isn't a donation from the bank. In fact it is a money making scheme, since the N&P pay 1 per cnet of the total Canary account savings to NCFC and pay the accounter holder 0.1%. Therefore its just like paying 1.1% interest whereas with the other accounts they would have to pay 3 or 4 per cent in other accounts - they are earning money for gaining the publicity of supporting their local community, the club. Slightly dirty yes, but, ostensibly, bigger profits should mean the bank has more money to pay 'keydata victims'. Whether it actually translates that way is another matter.

I wonder what the "Keydata Victims" who lost money due to N&Ps bad advice and had to fight them "tooth and nail" to get some reinbursment think about this.

It is heart-warming to see this. On the other hand, N & P have played a crafty game with interest charged and interest paid. Is it still a Building Society, or a Bank in disguise? Like Nationwide. Consult your friendly Financial Advisor from Boswell`s. You know you can trust him....as you could an Estate Agent, Politician or one of the Kray Twins.
