Local Councils

Delivering social impact is at the heart of what we do at Unity Trust Bank, and we are proud to support thousands of Local Councils throughout the UK

Our Public & Third Sectors Team has recently been established to offer support to Local Councils and other specialist sectors. Complementing the service already provided by our Unity Connect team; the Public & Third Sectors Team work directly with local councils to discuss their options and solutions around savings and deposits, as well as assistance with more complex issues.

This new direct approach simplifies their banking, allowing them to move funds around as their needs dictate, giving extra flexibility and control; whilst also guiding them through some of the regulatory or process-driven tasks.

To discuss your requirements with the Public & Third Sectors Team, email them directly at LocalCouncils@unity.co.uk

Every council is different, and some have more complex needs than others. The Team are on hand to guide you through the products and solutions on offer, and can arrange a call at your convenience.
