United Trust Bank (UTB) has launched its new application portal for Charity customers, streamlining and accelerating new account opening and making account management easier through online banking. In addition, the specialist Bank has improved the onboarding journey for business customers using their dedicated portal.
Charity customers can now enjoy a fully online application process with quick digital ID checks and an intuitive straight through journey which can be completed online anywhere, anytime in just a few minutes. New customers are also automatically registered for online banking with login details sent out quickly and securely. Online banking allows customers to request withdrawals, apply for other UTB deposit accounts, manage maturity instructions and send secure messages, anytime, day or night.
In addition to launching the new Charity portal, UTB has reissued its Charity Easy Access Tracker and Business Easy Access Tracker accounts, both currently starting from 3.80% Gross/AER Variable*. This rate includes a 0.80% fixed introductory bonus for the first 12 months the account is open. After that time the standard variable rate reverts to the standard rate which tracks the Bank of England Base Rate minus 0.75%. The Base Rate is currently 3.75%. Our base rate tracker may rise or fall; changes will take effect within three days following a Bank of England Base Rate change. More information can be found on UTB’s website – HERE
Plus, the Bank is currently running a promotion where customers opening and funding a Business or Charity Easy Access Tracker Account before May 1st 2026 have the opportunity to win £1,500 of flight vouchers. Once the account is opened, customers can gain more entries for referring another business or charity. For each referral made they will gain one extra entry to the prize draw, up to a maximum of 5.

We’ve got rid of paperwork and streamlined everything we can. If customers have information to hand, the application should take a few minutes to complete, and they can fund the account and benefit from our competitive rates in no time.”
