Our community accounts are designed to combine sound business practice with ethical values. When you’re looking after your organisation’s finances, you don’t want your funds to diminish through unnecessary bank charges. That’s why our community accounts give you free banking.
Community Directplus gives Registered Charities, Community Interest Companies, Co-operatives and Credit Unions an ethical way to bank for free.
The Hive is a new, business support programme to help the development and growth of the UK co-operative and social enterprise sector. Demonstrating its Ethical Policy commitment to support co-operatives, the Bank has committed £1.05million to this three year programme in partnership with Co-operatives UK, the UK trade association.
The Hive provides resources to help new co-ops and community businesses to start-up, existing co-ops to grow, non co-ops to convert, and communities to thrive. Find out more about The Hive
