Impact Report | Unity Trust Bank

Unity is a commercial bank with a difference; we lend to organisations and businesses who help create a better society.

Established over 36 years ago with a vision to create a bank that would serve the needs of its customers and enrich society, our purpose is to help organisations to prosper and contribute to economic, community and environmental change. Our lending helps to create and protect jobs, and supports the development of community facilities and care provision.

699 people supported with housing and care
