Reliance Bank was founded as the bank for The Salvation Army in 1890

The Salvation Army remains the shareholder today, making Reliance Bank the only UK bank to be owned by an international charity and Christian church.

We help many faith organisations to grow in the UK

When the bank was founded, all deposits were used to help buy properties for The Salvation Army. Today, our customers’ deposits are used to provide loans to faith organisations across the UK to grow.

Open a Faith Current Account or Savings Account with Reliance Bank and your deposits will help provide loans to UK faith organisations for property purchase, property expansion, refurbishment, refinance and mission-led business acquisition. Together, this enables faith organisations to better serve people who are deprived, isolated and overlooked in communities across the UK.

From day one, social good was at the heart of the bank’s mission

Our Mission continues to be a distinctive, specialist bank delivering positive societal outcomes aligned to the mission of The Salvation Army. For that reason, Reliance Bank attracts customers from all faiths, recognising that The Salvation Army’s mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in his name without discrimination.
