Football fans keen to save cash while supporting their club have been pointed in the direction of affinity savings accounts.
These products allow supporters to invest money into their favourite club and let dedicated fans to help their team while caring for their finances.
Several types of affinity savings accounts are available, with some giving donations to club youth development and others offering discounts on goods purchased.
Rachel Thrussell, head of savings at Monefacts, commented: "Although interest rates on these accounts are not as high as some online savings accounts, most have instant access and pay rates which compete with other branch-based savings products, especially when the donation to your favourite club is taken into account.
"For those clubs without a Russian billionaire to keep the bank manager sweet, it can be a much needed boost to club funds, when loyal supporters put their money where their heart is in an effort to see their team through the forthcoming season."
She added that while many clubs in the Premiership have no trouble with funds, affinity savings accounts can be particularly useful for lower division teams, where "every penny counts".
Fans are preparing themselves for the start of the Premiership season, with Liverpool, Arsenal and Everton all having fixtures on Saturday August 19th.
