Community Directplus

We believe that when you’re working for the community, your valuable funds shouldn’t be swallowed up by avoidable banking charges. Community Directplus gives charities, community groups, voluntary organisations, social enterprises, town parish or community councils an ethical way to bank for free.

With Community Directplus your organisation will:

  • benefit from free banking* – this means no monthly service charge, no charges for paying in cash and cheques, no charges for writing cheques and no charges for standing order or Direct Debits
  • receive interest on credit balances of £2,000 or more. Interest rates are tiered, so the higher your balance, the more money you will earn. View our current rates.
  • have the freedom to manage your account by telephone, online, post or face-to-face at one of our branches or the Post Office (by arrangement)
  • receive first-class customer service, backed up by our Customer Service Guarantees
  • have the opportunity to apply for project funding from our Customer Donation Fund.
