Stay fraud aware

Fraudsters use every trick in the book to abuse our trust and pressure us into giving out personal and financial information. Whenever you are contacted by phone, email, text message or social media, ask yourself, 'Could this be fake?'.

How we are supporting charities through the cost-of-living crisis 

At CAF Bank we are constantly exploring measures to support charities through the cost-of-living crisis. Some of the actions we have taken so far include:

  • Continuing to provide services to existing customers and remaining open to new customers while some banking providers have reduced operating hours, withdrawn banking facilities, or stopped accepting new applications.
  • Reducing the monthly account fee for maintaining a CAF Cash Account from £8 per month to £5 per month (effective from 4 August 2022).
  • Starting paying interest on CAF Cash Account balances in credit from 6 May 2022.
  • Immediately increasing interest rates following the Bank of England’s base rate rises. Full details of our current rates can be found on our Savings page.
 
  • Offering CAF Bank customers access to a wide range of deposit accounts with different tenures and rates through the CAF Charity Deposit Platform (introduced by CFSL).
  • Offering CAF Bank customers access to a new range of ESG-focused investment funds launched in May 2022 and introduced by CFSL.
  • Continuing to provide secured loans to help charities buy, develop, or repurpose property and refinance existing debt. Between May 2021 and April 2022 we agreed £82 million of loan facilities, a record for CAF Bank loan sanctions.
 
Charities Aid Foundation (CAF), CAF Bank’s parent organisation, has put together a charity resource hub providing tools, guidance and inspiration during the cost-of-living crisis.
