The Bankers Benevolent fund is a registered charity for bank employees, past and present, and their dependants. We help towards the cost of educating children of bank employees who have either died or are unable to work because of ill health. We also give financial support to older people and those with disabilities who face hardship due to low incomes.

We provide a wide range of assistance to our beneficiaries. To find out more, click on applying for help and who we've helped.

Since the Fund is a registered charity and not an insurance scheme, we consider helping all former and current bank employees and their dependants – regardless of whether they have given money to the fund.
