Charity Bank Partners with Sandstone Technology to Power Its New Mobile Savings App
Charity Bank, the ethical savings and loans bank wholly owned by charitable foundations, trusts, and social purpose organisations, has announced a strategic partnership with Sandstone Technology to power the development of its new mobile savings app.
Since 2002, Charity Bank has lent over £600 million to charities and social enterprises, helping to improve lives and strengthen communities across the UK. The development of its mobile app marks a significant milestone in the Bank’s digital transformation journey, aimed at enhancing customer experience and expanding access to ethical banking.
Sandstone Technology, a long-standing technology partner of Charity Bank, brings its secure, modern, and customer-centric mobile platform to the project. The two organisations have collaborated for over a decade, delivering innovative digital solutions that support Charity Bank’s growth and commitment to customer service.
Charity Bank recognised the opportunity to provide a modern servicing channel that savers can have with them 24/7 and it meets its aim to be a greener bank.
“We are thrilled to take this next step with Sandstone Technology,” said Justin Hort, Director of Operations and Savings at Charity Bank. “Launching a mobile app is a major milestone that reflects our commitment to evolving with our savers’ needs. We’re focused on delivering a seamless, modern, and intuitive experience - and with Sandstone’s proven track record, we knew they were the right partner to bring this vision to life.”
Jennifer Harris, Chief Customer Officer at Sandstone Technology, added:
“Partnering with Charity Bank on this initiative is both exciting and rewarding. Mobile is now the channel of choice across all demographics, and this solution reflects the importance of delivering banking experiences that are intuitive, flexible, and future-ready. Our collaboration is built on trust and innovation, and this project showcases our shared vision for the next generation of digital banking.”
The new mobile app will offer enhanced self-service capabilities, robust security features, and a suite of modern tools designed to meet the evolving needs of Charity Bank’s customers. The platform enables seamless updates, rapid product launches, and a consistent user experience - ensuring customers always have access to the latest innovations.
With mobile banking now central to how people manage their finances, this development underscores Charity Bank’s forward-thinking approach and how the Bank listens to the feedback from its customers. The app is scheduled to roll out to Charity Bank savers in spring 2026.
