Community Group Bank Account

Is anyone aware of banks that offer a community bank account for charities or non profit organisations, that don't do credit checks. I am one of three members who are looking to get this type of account opened for our organisation, however due to my poor current credit history, I know its going to prevent this.

    All the high street banks will credit check you for this type of account.

    I'm not aware of any banks who will not credit check all of the signatories on the account when you open one - but for options about which will offer these types of accounts, a quick search for "charity" or "club" accounts should return plenty of options.
