Bank Accounts for Groups/Charities/CICs

You can bank at a local branch or you can do it entirely online. Here is a handy list of banks offering accounts for not-for-profits. 

You will need to have a minimum of two signatories who are authorised by your governing body to deal with transactions. This is because all funders require accounts with at least two signatories. 

Some of these accounts have specific criteria/eligibility you must meet so please ensure you are eligible before applying.
