Credit Union savings: Save with a bank for good

If you're looking for a bank that will help you to put your credit union's money where your values are, you're in the right place.

You can open a Charity Bank credit union savings account that will earn you a return and support the extraordinary work of charities and social enterprises across the UK.

How it works

When your credit union saves with us we pay you interest and use your money to make loans to charities and social enterprises.

Your credit union's savings become part of a social mission. They might be used to build affordable homes, launch renewable energy projects or to foster peace among young people in divided communities.

What matters to us isn't profits but a shared idea about the world we want to live in. If you share it, join us.
