Economic challenges and our support

We’re here to support you during these economic challenges

If you are struggling with your charity commitments because of economic or inflationary pressures or interest rate rises we would encourage you to contact us at the earliest opportunity.

We are asking affected charity customers to contact the Commercial department via email on commercial@reliancebankltd.com and would ask you to provide us with a background as to your circumstances, together with the following:

• Business name and post code
• Best contact telephone number
• Some brief details on your specific circumstances

We will review each case to establish how best we can support you during these challenging times.
Remember we are here for you. We’ll continue to look at what we can do to support you.

 

Reliance Bank's base rate

Reliance Bank base rate currently 5.00% effective from 1st September 2024 will reduce to 4.75% on 1st December 2024.

The changes outlined above will result in a reduction to the interest rate applicable to your charity loan. Your facility agreement sets out how your repayments will change.

The Sterling Base Rate of Reliance Bank is set by the bank from time to time taking account of the bank’s cost of funding.  The rate does not automatically track the Bank of England Base Rate.
