Unity Trust Bank PLC
Unity Trust Bank provides bank lending to UK SMEs with a social purpose.
The challenge
Unity Trust Bank provides bank lending to UK SMEs with a social purpose that struggle to obtain affordable and simple loans from mainstream lenders.
Our approach
Unity Trust Bank aims to be the bank of choice for all socially-minded organisations in the UK. Through safe, sustainable growth, it supports its customers looking to deliver social, economic or environmental change in their communities while also meeting their commercial needs.
Our approach to supporting social banks is rooted in the critical role they play in the social investment market intermediating between retail investors and socially-minded borrowers. To date, we have invested £6.1 million in Unity Trust Bank as regulatory capital alongside other shareholders
