Not-for-profit

We’ve been helping not-for-profit organisations for many decades. Everything we’ve learned along the way is helping us to provide financial services that are more in tune to your unique needs.  Right now, we’re working with more than 17,000 not-for-profit organisations throughout the country.

Over the years we’ve gained a special appreciation of the challenges you face. For instance, we know about the need for fundraising and publicity. We also understand that investments and capital resources have to work particularly hard, because the money they earn has to go as far as possible.  At the same time, we know that risk levels need to be kept low.

So it’s with knowledge of your unique requirements that we’ve developed our not-for-profit solution.  It’s an approach that’s purpose-built to support the success of your good work.
