Community bank account

Dave1983

I have recently set up a fishing group, to help those with mental health issues, disabilities and those struggling with Covid 19 situation.
I have been given funding from the biggest organisation in fishing, Angling Trust.

However, none of the banks are letting me open a bank account due to Covid.
The group is to help people during this period.

Is there any way around this?

Your advice would be much appreciated

Have you tried the digital banks - although if you are going to be paid by cheque don't know how you will pay it in?

Most of these accounts have to be opened in branch and the branches are open...

The digital banks aren't operating community accounts yet.

I opened a community account with the Coop a few years ago and was able to do I entirely online.

Lloyds Bank Treasurer's Account has been recommended on similar threads. Online opening and multiple signatories (authorisers) if needed.

Unfortunately at present they are not opening such accounts due to covid pressures.
