  • Charity Bank

    Bursary Partner

    As an ethical bank, Charity Bank uses its savers’ money to make loans for good. They only lend to charities, social enterprises and other organisations where the loan is being used for a social purpose.

    They’re entirely owned by charitable foundations, trusts and social purpose organisations and they do not operate a staff bonus scheme, so when they say they’re an ethical bank, they mean it.

    With them your savings become part of a social mission: they might be used to build affordable homes, launch renewable energy projects or support disadvantaged young people.
