A unique approach to supporting communities



We are passionate about changing people’s lives by transforming the perception and use of finance.

More than £500 billion is in deposit and savings accounts in the UK, but many people have no idea how their money is used while it's in their bank or building society.  We want to see some of this money being reinvested for the common good - to provide a social benefit as well as personal or corporate profit.  Just 0.2% of the nation's savings could unlock £1 billion in social investment.  

The people and organisations that support us through their savings and deposits are already doing this.  They have a different approach to the world and we value that.  By supporting us, they are part of a unique approach to assisting community organisations through finance and business guidance.  They are open to safe, simple and creative ways of using their money, through investment as well as more conventional donations, to deliver social change.  

We offer a range of savings options, for individuals or organisations who want to invest a lump sum, put money aside for a rainy day or save a little every month, or who are looking for a powerful way to use their money to change the world.

Independence South West was supported thanks to the savings of Charity Bank depositors like John Amos
Independence South West was supported thanks to the savings of Charity Bank depositors like John Amos. The organisation, which provides day care and respite services to adults with physical and sensory disabilities, requested a loan of £400,000 over 25 years, to repay the existing mortgage on its main property and assist with the conversion of the neighbouring property.
