Charities
We offer fee-free banking for:
- registered charities
- charities that don’t need to register
- charities with excepted status.
The Charity Commission looks after registered charities in England and Wales. Even if you're a charity, not all charities need to register.
Your charity must register with the Commission if:
- it has, or expects to have, an annual income of over £5,000
- it is not an exempt or excepted charity.
