Bank accounts for community groups

YorksNick

We are looking to open a bank account for a community group we are involved in. At the moment it seems only Barclays are accepting applications for new accounts? Does anyone know differently or have any recent experience?

I can see why there is little enthusiasm with the Banks to provide these accounts.

I am treasurer of a small organisation and actually wrote a cheque this morning , leaving a balance of £50 !  Looking at the stubs I see the first cheque was in 2010 .

Where's the money in this for the Bank (in my case Lloyds)

Hi - thanks for replying. I agree there's nothing in it financially for the banks but I would have hoped that they'd be wanting to offer such a service as part of their corporate social responsibility. Maybe that's me having wishful thinking!

Why keep suggesting Starling when they don't accept Community groups?
