Manchester, UK – 14th August 2025 – Suits Me, the award-winning alternative to traditional bank accounts, today announces a three-year partnership with Port Vale FC. Suits Me – which supports people facing financial exclusion, such as those denied a High Street bank account – will join the club as Training Ground Headline Sponsor for the 25/26 season, extending to Men’s First Team short sponsor the following season.

Staffordshire has been hit by a wave of bank closures this year, with severe impacts on residents and local businesses. Suits Me was founded to provide anyone deprived of essential financial services, whether through bank closures or through being turned down for a current account due to poor or no credit history, lack of address or photo ID. The company has grown swiftly through word-of-mouth, with many customers attracted by its functionality, rewards, and commitment to customer service.

Today, Suits Me has over 400,000 account holders, and offers dedicated, multilingual support in over 18 languages. The company has received several awards, including being selected as a finalist for the Best Current Account Provider at the British Bank Awards 2024.

“We’re delighted to welcome Suits Me as our new partners,” said Laura Jennings, Head of Partnerships at the club. “Football is a game for everyone, and clubs are the heart of the local community, so our sponsorship partners should reflect that. Suits Me is all about inclusion; it’s committed to bringing financial services to all, so no one gets left behind. We look forward to a strong and rewarding partnership next season and beyond.”

Matthew Sanders, Executive Chairman of Suits Me said: “We’re proud to announce our partnership with Port Vale FC, as Suits Me has now officially joined The Valiants family! For over 150 years, Port Vale has been a club that values community, determination, and ambition. Always moving forward, whilst staying true to its roots. These are values we believe in at Suits Me, and we’re excited to make a positive impact on the Vale community. From the 25/26 season, you’ll see the Suits Me team at Vale Park, helping fans to manage their money, their way.”
