Efficient with good service

Charity has been banking with CAF for a decade or more. Internet banking works well with dual authorisation. Managed transfer to CIO quickly and sensibly whereas Lloyds were unbelievably difficult and trying to open an account with Barclays was an eye opener into how big banks see charities - a requirement for trustees to meet them in person; a full financial check on all 12 trustees required etc. We said no. At least HSBC said no to our turnover of £25k without going further. So CAF is a good choice for a small charity that wants the basics. Yes its £8 per month but I cant remember having a problem and consider the comparable cost of an accounts package to do gift aid and making tax digital to HMRC. Reviewed on: 28th April 2022
