Charities account

Charities have to make the most of every penny they raise. Our Charities Account is aimed at registered charities that are looking for good rates of interest paid gross, but who also need instant access to their funds.

Key features:

• Open your account with only £25
• Minimum balance of only £25
• Instant access to your money, withdrawals at any of our branches
• Interest is paid gross

Eligibility

All registered charities in the UK can open a Charities Account. All we need is your charity's registration number and a copy of a resolution empowering officers to open the account. If you'd like advice and sample wording for the resolution, your local Yorkshire branch will be happy to supply it.

Unfortunately, if you're a non-registered charity you cannot open our Charities Account. However, you may want to take advantage of our Cash Transactor account.

Starting your account

Only £25 is needed to open an account. This is also the minimum balance you'll need to keep in the account.

Withdrawing money

Withdrawals can be made by those authorised to do so at any of our branches. This can be done without notice. We recommend that at least 2 people are authorised to access the account - both of whom must provide proof of identity when the account is opened.

Paying money in

Deposits can be made over the counter at any of the Society's branch or agency offices.
