Manage your union account

Unity Trust Bank has had a proud and historic relationship with trade unions since our formation in 1984.

The trade unions’ vision was to create a bank that would embrace the philosophy of serving the common good and those founding principles are still at the heart of everything Unity does today.

Unity banks 90% of affiliated trade unions which benefit from specialist relationship managers who understand the ins and outs of how the organisations work.
