Why should my church save with Kingdom Bank?

One of the main questions we get as a bank is “why?” Why go to the effort of changing bank? Why does my banking need to be explicitly ‘Christian’?

As a bank, we are passionate about giving both Christians and Christian organisations the opportunity to give their money a mission. We want to see the UK filled with healthy, growing, gospel-hearted churches.  

Here are four reasons why we think your church should save with Kingdom Bank:   

  1. You can see your impact

One of the joys of saving with Kingdom Bank is seeing your money used to serve gospel ministries across the UK. When your church chooses to place its reserves with us, the money is used to help provide mortgages for Christian ministries who may struggle to acquire finance from a high street bank.  

Unlike with other banks, you can be confident that your church’s reserves are being invested in a way which aligns with your gospel values. All while your church earns some interest.  

  1. We are a fully regulated bank

As a fully regulated bank, you can be confident the money saved with us is in safe hands. We are authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority. We see this as a key part of our witness as a Christian bank.  

We are also part of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), which provides added protection for your money.  

  1. Our accounts have churches and charities in mind

Our savings, loans and insurance products are purpose-built for mission and ministry. As our customer-facing staff are all Christians, we have a deep understanding of how churches operate. Our deposit accounts reflect this, and we have tried to create a range of products which provide the flexibility needed by many churches and organisations. We have a variety of products to suit different needs, and our team is always happy to answer any questions.   

  1. We’re here to help

Our friendly, Christian team are just a phone call away. We pride ourselves on our excellent customer service. Opening a deposit account with Kingdom Bank is a straight-forward process, and our team will helpfully guide you through.   

After submitting a completed application form, it will generally take up to five days before you’re contacted to request your opening funds. Once your deposit is received, it takes around three days to finalise the account opening process. If you have any questions, our team will gladly assist you.  

If your church would like to support gospel mission with its savings, you can find out more here or call our savings team on 0115 921 7260.
