What is a Community or Charity Savings Account?

As a registered charity in the UK, it is a legal requirement to have a current account in place. The next step is to consider opening a savings account to put your surplus funds in.

A charity savings account operates in a similar way to personal savings accounts and is a specific account offered by banks, or building societies like ourselves, that gives you interest on your reserves.

The available account options and interest rates vary based on the provider so it is essential that you understand the benefits of each account and choose the right option for your organisation.

How to choose the right savings account

Choosing the right account for your organisation is essential and there are many factors to consider such as your available finances, branch locality, interest rates and account type.

To help you make the right decision there are a number of questions recommended by NCVO that you can ask yourself before opening an account, these include:

  • How will you interact with the provider? For example, on the telephone, in-person, or online.
  • How do you want to make payments?
  • Do you need access to cash?
  • Does the provider align with your charity’s mission and values?

Here at Mansfield Building Society, we pride ourselves on our local offerings and specialise in helping local Nottinghamshire & Derbyshire based organisations make the most of their finances.

Frequently Asked Questions

Show FAQ - Question 1

Answer 1

1. AER

AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year. AERs on the Monthly Income account assume interest is added to the account each month although in practice the option to have interest added in this way is not available.

2. Gross Rate

The gross rate is the contractual rate of interest payable without tax taken off.
If separate AER/Gross rates are not quoted, both rates are identical.

^Tax Free

Tax free means exempt from UK income and capital gains tax in the hands of the investor.
