ethical banking - our vision, mission and values

Charity Bank is about much more than ethical banking and being an ethical bank. We exist to respond to real social needs. We do this by financing charities and other organisations that are changing lives and supporting communities.

Our Vision

Our vision is to have a thriving third sector that brings about real social change and a society where social return is considered as important as financial return. 

Our Mission

The mission is to finance charities and other ‘social profit’ organisations that address society’s needs, with the support of depositors and investors who want to encourage a more responsible and transparent use of their money.

Our Values

We deliver the mission as a team, underpinning our work with a set of agreed core values. These define Charity Bank and are as follows:

• Honest
• People Focused
• Responsible
• Innovative
• Committed

These values run throughout the organisation and are incorporated into everyone’s role at Charity Bank. Our processes and decisions, which are also strongly influenced by these core values and are reflected in our overall performance.
