Unity Trust Bank is committed to helping businesses grow and prosper and enable access to fair and affordable financing through responsible finance providers

Unity Trust Bank continues to provide lending and banking services to a range of Community Development Finance Institutions (CDFIs), grant making charities, foundations and social investment intermediaries providing the most impactful grant making and social impact lending activities in the UK.

In 2023, 365 SMEs, social enterprises and charities accessed £25 million worth of lending to support the impact they deliver in local communities.

Unity Trust Bank aligns its lending practices to the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

SDG 17 promotes public, private and civil society partnerships which enable socio-economic growth and stability, collaborating with others to eliminate poverty and support the development of strong businesses.
