Banking for schools and educational trusts
Banking for schools and educational trusts
Weatherbys Business Bank provides a relationship-led banking service to schools, academies and educational trusts, supporting them with governance and liquidity planning.
Our business banking service specialises in safeguarding cash reserves for the education sector, aligning access to funds with the academic calendar. For this, we have created a fixed-term deposit product which releases monthly liquidity, while also maximising yields.
Why Weatherbys?
Our strong Pillar III capital ratios and very low risk appetite make us a trusted custodian. We safeguard your funds under a conservative model designed for continuity, security and discretion.
We understand the complexity of trustee oversight and cash flow requirements. Our bankers work with bursars, business managers, finance directors, governors and boards to structure deposits for termly inflows, payroll and capital project demands.
