Dear <<First Name>>,
I hope that you are all safe and well. As lockdown is eased and the nations change their advice on what can be done, we will continue to send out updated advice.
Sometimes the detailed advice does not get posted on the government web pages immediately. We do ensure that we check them regularly so please bear with us when announcements are made, we will be waiting for the detailed advice of each nation to be posted so that we can provide advice to you.
with very best wishes
Sam

Finance Manager, Kevin Traynor writes:
Online Banking
The current situation caused by the virus has thrown up some challenges for U3As particularly with regard to online banking.
Although all banks have accounts offering dual authorisation I am still investigating which banks have suitable facilities and at low cost. I will come back to you with more details in the July Newsletter.
Pilot Scheme
I have previously mentioned CAFBank and Metro, now I want to mention NatWest who are running a pilot scheme which offers no additional costs for smaller charity accounts, see the details in the button below.
Nat West have also said they will help U3As open a community account. They also offer webinars to answer your questions and offer general help and advice about online banking.
Please stay in touch with me - if you have any questions regarding finance please email me. I will try and get back to you as soon as I can.
