Banking for Parish Councils

Join us for this free event with Unity Trust Bank

Unity Trust Bank has long supported the parish and town council sector, offering ethical and practical banking solutions that meet the unique needs of local government. During this session, we will talk about our services, and share broader guidance on good banking practices for councils (there is no hard sell). This is suitable for both existing and new/potential customers.

We’ll cover key governance and operational considerations including:

•            Understanding the role and responsibilities of signatories and authorisers

•            Navigating electronic banking and dual authorisation

•            Managing reserves and council cash flow

•            Best practice in financial governance and internal controls

•            Top tips for changing your mandate: account change management

•            Switch banking: How easy is it and first steps 

•            Help with strengthening your financial procedures
  

There will be a presentation of around 30 minutes, followed by an Q&A session for the remainder of the hour.
