Charity Bank

Charity Bank – a bank for good

Charity Bank is an ethical savings and loans bank with a mission to use money for good. We’re entirely owned by charitable foundations, trusts and social purpose organisations and staff do not receive discretionary bonuses.

When savers deposit with us, we lend their money to charities and social enterprises. Since 2002, we have used the money saved with us to provide over £185 million of loan finance to support organisations working to create lasting social change in communities across the UK.

Charity Bank is the only bank in the UK with the Social Enterprise Mark, reflecting our social sector ownership and social purpose. It also recognises that the money saved with us, invested in us and generated through our loan interest charges is put back into supporting the social sector.

With us savings become part of a social mission: Our loans might be used to build affordable homes, launch community projects or support disadvantaged young people.
