Unity Trust Bank Business Banking, Savings & Loans

Unity Trust Bank is a commercial business bank offering commercial and property loans, particularly for charities. Established in 1984 and based in Birmingham, Unity Trust Bank’s funds come from customer accounts and it prides itself on being an ethical, sustainable bank that supports British businesses, charities, and their communities.

Unity Trust Bank Business Banking

Current account

Current accounts are available to businesses with an annual turnover of under £100,000, £100,000-£2 million, and over £2 million. You can manage your account online 24/7 and pay in/withdraw cash & cheques at your local NatWest, RBS and Ulster Bank branches.

Unity Trust Bank Reviews and Ratings

Unity Trust Bank has very few online reviews. Google reviews are a mixture of positive and critical. Some have banked with Unity for years and are very impressed with the level of customer service, but a few think they’re hard to work with.

There are just two reviews on Trustpilot and the critical one seems to be for a different company. The positive review praises Unity for being human and easy to talk to with clear terms and information.

Unity Trust Bank provided £5 million in funding for a London-based social enterprise in June 2020. The Teachers’ Housing Association will provide 300 homes for teachers.

Unity also provided £900,000 for West Midlands small businesses struggling during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Pros

  • Loans for a variety of purposes, including refurbishment and expansion.
  • An ethical bank that often funds charities and social enterprises.

Cons

  • Not many reviews and quite a few are critical of customer service.
  • Large amounts only. Not suitable for businesses interested in raising a few thousand.
