At Charity Bank, we recognise our responsibility to operate as a force for positive change, both within our organisation and in the communities we serve.

At Charity Bank, we recognise our responsibility to operate as a force for positive change, both within our organisation and in the communities we serve.

We bring together passionate UK savers, who want their savings to make a difference, with UK charities and social enterprises seeking loans to create real change in the lives of people, communities, and the planet – both now and for the long term.

Charity Bank is more than just an ethical bank – we’re fuelled by a dedication to foster positive change in everything we do. We provide loans to organisations actively working to improve the world around them, and all our shareholders are charities and social purpose organisations.

“Charity Bank is not an ordinary bank, we’re a community of people who are working to make a positive social impact. We’re here to align financial resources with values and a commitment to social progress.”

Ed Siegel, CEO, Charity Bank
