Where your money does more

Because banking should build something bigger than profit.

Welcome to our Impact Hub

At Unity Trust Bank, we believe that when you’re making a difference, your money should too. We help organisations use their banking to build stronger communities, support people and protect the planet, ensuring that doing good and doing well go hand in hand.

Everything we do is designed to create meaningful, measurable impact. From aligning our lending with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, to reporting transparently on our performance through our annual impact report, we’re committed to proving that finance can be a force for good.

We’ve created our Impact Hub to provide everything you need to measure and strengthen your impact, including funding opportunities, practical tools, tailored guidance and other useful resources.

The impact we make together

As public finances come under increasing pressure, private finance has a vital role to play in supporting the organisations and communities that keep the UK moving.

Through our research and white papers, we explore the issues that matter most and how responsible banking can help drive national renewal.

Explore how we turn our mission into meaningful action and the results we’ve achieved so far.

Accelerating Property Linked Finance in the UK

During London Climate Action Week 2026, we brought together leaders from across the lending and commercial real estate sectors to explore how Property Linked Finance can help accelerate the transition to a more energy-efficient and climate-resilient built environment.

Developed in collaboration with the Green Finance Institute and Addleshaw Goddard Solicitors, the workshop reflected our shared commitment to unlocking investment in commercial buildings and supporting the UK’s Net Zero ambitions.

The resources below share key insights, progress from our cross-industry working group, and practical steps to unlock investment in sustainable commercial buildings.
