🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 In Scotland, 165,000 people still don’t have a bank account — making everyday life harder and more expensive. Without one, wages can’t be paid, benefits can’t be received, and access to affordable credit is almost impossible.

Some groups are hit even harder, including people leaving prison, refugees, those experiencing homelessness, survivors of domestic abuse, and people who are bankrupt.

That’s why we’re launching Banking on the Basics — raising awareness of Basic Bank Accounts, which are open to anyone. Everyone deserves access to the financial system. Everyone deserves to be included.
