Information Sharing: Banking for Town & Parish Councils (Free)

Banking for Town & Parish Councils

Join us for a free online information-sharing session tailored specifically for parish and town councillors and clerks, as we explore one of the most essential yet often overlooked topics in local government: banking.

Unity Trust Bank has long supported the parish and town council sector, offering ethical and practical banking solutions that meet the unique needs of local government. During this session, representatives from Unity will shed light on their services and share broader guidance on good banking practices for councils.

We’ll cover key governance and operational considerations including:

• Understanding the role and responsibilities of signatories and authorisers

• Navigating electronic banking and dual authorisation

• Managing reserves and council cash flow

• Best practice in financial governance and internal controls

• Top tips for changing your mandate: account change management

• Switch banking: How easy is it and first steps
  

Whether you’re reviewing your banking provider or looking to strengthen your financial procedures, this session offers timely advice in line with sector guidance from NALC’s Banking Campaign.

Don’t miss this chance to improve your council’s financial resilience and understand the options available.
