Unity Trust has created a new interest-bearing current account for civil society organisations that provides links to various business and personal benefits.

The Select Account costs £5 a month and offers access to the grant-seeking website GrantNET; low-cost HR advice; cheap business stationery, mobile phone and landlines; and discounts on sector-specific magazines and training.

The account website also details a range of benefits which are available the staff, trustees and regular volunteers of its charity customers. These include free eye tests, discounted gym membership and savings on holidays and at high street stores such as Boots and M&S.
