Website GOOD NUMBERS recently posted a guide entitled “How to open a Bank Account for your Charity”.
The guide starts: “As many in the sector know, opening a bank account for a charity can be anything but straightforward. Bank staff are often unfamiliar with the process, and it’s not uncommon for trustees to visit a branch three or four times before successfully getting a bank account open. In short, most banks’ support for charities and non-profits is pretty poor.
Community Networks Aotearoa investigated this issue in 2023 — you can read their report here: Banking Issues in the Community Sector.
This guide gives you the tips and tricks to make opening a bank account as easy as possible.” <Read the guide on-line here>
