Charity Bond
A charitable, fixed-term investment with a guaranteed rate
The Royal Bank of Scotland Charity Bond is specifically designed for registered charities and not for profit organisations. It could be the ideal investment vehicle for funds that you don't need immediately.
As well as a bond value that reflects your available funds, you can look forward to a guaranteed fixed rate of interest. As a result, cash management will become easier because you will have guaranteed returns.
If the unexpected does happen, our no-penalty break clause means your charity won't be left without the funds it needs. And we add a loyalty bonus to all renewed investments.
