New subject: We exist!

14 Feb 2006

This is really a matter for the Treasurer/Finance Director/whatever 
their title is, but given previous discussion on the list, I thought 
you might find this (which I found out about today) of use:
http://www.bba.org.uk/bba/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=142&a=225

The one thing missing is the monthly charge rates (if any), but it 
gives a fair idea of what's on the marketplace. Charities and 
not-for-profit groups with turnover under £100K a year can often get 
free banking.

As I said before, branch location/phgone/online services of best use to 
the treasurer, services and price are likely to be the three key 
criteria - and the trustees will need to weigh up services offered 
versus cost. If you're likely to want (the hassle of) direct debits, 
and/or have lots of cash donations, the Bank of Scotland one doesn't 
look too bad, especially with the Halifax network for the deposit of 
cheques, money etc.

Hope that helps

Scott
