About CAF Bank
CAF Bank is the bank dedicated to charities and the
not-for-profit sector. CAF Bank aims to provide first class
banking services to charities at the lowest cost possible.
CAF Bank is a subsidiary of Charities Aid Foundation
(CAF) – a registered charity whose mission is to
motivate society to give, connecting donors with the
charities they want to support, large and small across
the country. As a result any surplus CAF Bank makes is
donated to CAF and therefore stays within the sector.
CAF Bank is authorised by the Prudential Regulation
Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct
Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority.

We were founded in 1986 as the first and only bank to
offer our services exclusively to charities and not-for-
profit organisations. Today, charities have over £1bn of
their funds deposited in over 30,000 CAF Bank accounts.
How we add value
We have been working with charities for over 30 years,

so we are well placed to help you manage your money.

or more of the secured assets would be a residential
dwelling, or loans other than for business purposes or
which would be a regulated consumer credit agreement.
Arranged Overdrafts
If a loan is not suitable for your charity, an arranged
overdraft as part of your CAF Cash Account may better
meet your shorter-term needs.
Card payment processing

credit cards and debit cards direct into your CAF Bank
accounts. Working with our third party supplier our

What you need to know
Here are some questions most frequently asked by
new and existing customers. If we haven’t answered
your question, please email cafbank@cafonline.org
or call 03000 123 456
How safe is our money?
CAF Bank invests deposits with the Bank of England and
in ‘AAA’ rated bonds, and with a range of other carefully
selected highly rated financial and non-financial
organisations. CAF Bank does not invest in derivatives
or structured products.
Do we receive any statutory protection?
CAF Bank Limited is a member of the Financial Services
Compensation Scheme (FSCS) established under the
Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. Full details
of the Scheme and its restrictions can be obtained on
request by contacting the FSCS on 0800 678 1100 or
0207 741 4100, visiting www.fscs.org.uk or writing to
FSCS, 10th Floor, Beaufort House, 15 St Botolph Street,
London EC3A 7QU. Please note that only compensation
related queries should be directed to the FSCS.
How is interest paid?
Where your account attracts interest, interest accrues
to your account daily and is credited gross at the end of
each quarter.
6
How often do we receive a statement?
You can apply for online statements where you can view,
print and save a PDF copy of your statement. You can
also select how often you would like to receive a printed
statement from us. By selecting to receive less frequent
statements, you can help us reduce paper usage. You
can keep track of your day-to-day transactions through
our online banking service.
We are a new charity – how do we open an account
without a Charity Commission number?
New charities who have applied for charitable status
need to provide a bank account number (opened in
their name) to the Charity Commission (CC) or the
Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR). We
can issue your charity an account number pending
your registration and activate the account once your
charitable status has been confirmed.
We are an unregistered charity – can we open
an account with CAF Bank?
Yes – if you are a charity which is not registered with
the CC or the OSCR, including charities which are
exempt or excepted from registration, we can open an
account for you. You will find clear guidance notes in the
application form to help gather the necessary identity
and verification documents.
Should I choose HSBC or RBS counter service?
This depends where you intend paying-in your cash
and cheques. If you intend on banking in Scotland your
banking can be done through RBS, for the whole of the
UK this can be done at HSBC branches. If you require
both please contact our Customer Service team on
03000 123 456.
How do we arrange for existing standing orders and
Direct Debits to operate on our new
CAF Cash Account?
Simply complete the Standing order and Direct Debit
transfer to CAF Bank form so that we can contact your
existing bank for full details of your standing orders and
Direct Debits. Once they have responded to us we will
contact you to confirm which payments to transfer and
put everything into place for you.
We recommend that you maintain sufficient funds in
your old account until your new CAF Cash Account is
fully operational and your funds have been successfully
transferred across to your new CAF Cash Account. We
expect this process to take four weeks. For donations
and standing orders into your account, you need to
tell your payees that your banking arrangements have
changed.

At CAF Bank we value your custom highly and trust you
will be entirely satisfied with our service. If however, you
do have a comment or complaint about us we would like

Important information
All banks face an increasingly stringent regulatory environment,
from regulators here and around the world, which requires
them to put in place close monitoring of all accounts to
ensure they comply with rules for financial transactions. We
are required to know our customers and where they send
their money, the nature of any partner organisations and the
countries and regions in which they operate.
At CAF Bank, we take our obligations very seriously,
and review all our accounts carefully and individually
to ensure we have the necessary understanding of our
customers. In order for CAF Bank to fulfil its account
opening administrative requirements and to comply with
UK anti-money laundering legislation, before your account
can be opened we are required to complete checks on
your organisation and on individuals that are involved with
your organisation. Wherever possible these checks are
performed electronically, minimising the time it takes to
open your account. If we are required to contact you for
further information this may delay your application.
In certain circumstances, however, it may be necessary to
request additional identification documentation which may need
to be certified and may delay your application. Before continuing
please ensure that each person named on this application
form is aware of how we will process the data. If you are aware
of any individuals who may already be associated with other
CAF Bank accounts please notify us in a covering letter to avoid
us undertaking our electronic checks again.
In order to improve international tax compliance, the UK has
enacted legislation to implement various intergovernmental
agreements (including to give effect to relevant European
directives and the US provisions commonly known as FATCA).
We are required by UK law to obtain information to verify
the identity and tax status of account holders together with
the country or countries in which they are tax-resident and,
in some cases, also to verify the identity, tax status and
residence of the ‘Controlling Person(s)’ (as defined under the
various intergovernmental agreements) of the organisation
that is the account holder.
Where the information we hold or collect indicates that
you are, or may be, tax-resident in another country, we
are required to pass that information and details about
your account to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) who
will, in turn, pass it to relevant foreign tax authorities
where intergovernmental agreements to which the UK is
a party require the automatic exchange of information for
international tax compliance purposes.
If you do not supply sufficient information to determine
your tax residence (or the tax residence of your ‘Controlling
Person(s)’) we will also have to report that to HMRC, together
with details of your account. HMRC will, in turn pass on
details of such account holders and their accounts to the tax
authorities of the US and Crown Dependencies.
You will find further information in the Notes on the
Automatic Exchange of Information (AEOI) at pages 23 to
26 of this application form. These notes also provide you
with information to help you complete the tax residency
information in Section 2.8 of this application form.
Where you apply for any product with us, including where
you apply jointly with someone else, we may perform a credit
search in order to check the details of your credit history with
certain credit reference agencies. These agencies will keep
a record of that search (including details of your application
for a product with us, and whether or not that application is
successful) and, for a short period of time, this can therefore
affect your ability to get credit elsewhere. If the results
indicate that the product that you are seeking would not be
suitable, your application may be declined. If your application
is accepted we will file information with these agencies about
how you manage your product on an ongoing basis. Where
you apply in conjunction with someone else, a financial link
between you will be created on the records of these agencies.
The Organisation’s directors, trustees (through a resolution
of the board of trustees), committee, or equivalent must
have resolved that CAF Bank is to be appointed as bankers
to the organisation, in writing, and have nominated the
individual completing this application to act on their behalf.
Please make sure all personal details provided as part of your
application are up-to-date and correct. The information you
submit for anyone attached to your organisation may affect
any personal information we already hold.

Notes
To help protect the integrity of tax systems, governments
around the world are introducing new information gathering and
reporting requirements for financial institutions. This is known
as the Automatic Exchange of Information for international
tax compliance (AEOI) and includes the international common
reporting standard and European directives together with the
UK-US Agreement to implement the US provisions commonly
known as ‘FATCA’ and UK agreements to exchange information
with the Crown Dependencies and Gibraltar.
Under UK legislation implementing AEOI, CAF Bank is required to
determine where an Entity or organisation is tax-resident (this will
usually be where you are likely to pay corporate income taxes). If
you are a tax resident outside the UK we may be legally required
to give HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) this information, along
with information relating to your accounts. HMRC may then share
this information with relevant countries’ tax authorities. Dual-
resident entities may rely on the tiebreaker rules contained in tax
conventions (if applicable) to solve cases of double residence for
the purposes of determining their residence for tax purposes.
The reporting obligations described above may also apply
if you are a Passive NFE or a certain Investment Entity (see
section 4 of this application and definitions below) and have
Controlling Persons tax-resident outside the UK.
Each country has its own rules for defining ‘tax residence’ and
many countries have provided information on how to determine
if you are tax resident in the country on the following website:
www.oecd.org/tax/automatic-exchange/crs-implementation-
and-assistance/tax-residency
Further Information
The ‘Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’
(OECD) has developed the rules to be used by all governments
participating in the AEOI and these can be found on the OECD’s
‘Automatic Exchange of Information’ (AEOI) website:
www.oecd.org/tax/automatic-exchange/
If you have any questions on how to define your tax residency
status, or on the definitions below, please visit the OECD website
or speak to your tax adviser or to the tax authority in the relevant
country(ies) as CAF Bank is not allowed to provide tax advice.
Definitions
Note: These are selected definitions provided to assist you
with the completion of the tax residency and Controlling
Person information on this form. Further technical details can
be found within the OECD ‘Standards for Automatic Exchange
of Financial Account Information in tax matters’ (Standards),
the associated 'Commentary' to the AEOI, and domestic
guidance. This can be found at the following link: www.oecd.
org/tax/transparency/automaticexchangeofinformation.htm
'Account Holder' The 'Account Holder' is the person listed or
identified as the holder of a Financial Account by CAF Bank. This is
regardless of whether such person is a flow-through Entity. Thus,
for example, if a trust or an estate is listed as the holder or owner of
a Financial Account, the trust or estate is the Account Holder, rather
than the trustee or the trust’s owners or beneficiaries. Similarly, if a
partnership is listed as the holder or owner of a Financial Account,
the partnership is the Account Holder, rather than the partners
in the partnership. A person, other than a Financial Institution,
holding a Financial Account for the benefit or account of another
person as agent, custodian, nominee, signatory, investment advisor,
or intermediary, is not treated as holding the account, and such
other person is treated as holding the account.
'Active NFE' is an NFE (Non-Financial Entity) is an ‘Active
NFE’ if it meets one of the criteria listed below. In summary,
those criteria refer to:
n non-profit NFEs;
n active NFEs by reason of income and assets;
n publicly traded NFEs;
n Governmental Entities, International Organisations,
Central Banks or their wholly owned Entities;
n holding NFEs that are members of a non-financial group;
n start-up NFEs;
n NFEs that are liquidating or emerging from bankruptcy; or
n treasury centres that are members of a non-financial group.
An entity will be classified as an Active NFE if it meets any
one of the following criteria:
a) the NFE meets all of the following requirements (a 'non-
profit NFE'):
i. it is established and operated in its jurisdiction of
residence exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific,
artistic, cultural, athletic or educational purposes; or it is
established and operated in its jurisdiction of residence
and it is a professional organisation, business league,
chamber of commerce, labour organisation, agricultural or
horticultural organisation, civic league or an organisation
operated exclusively for the promotion of social welfare;
ii. it is exempt from income tax in its jurisdiction of residence;
iii. it has no shareholders or members who have a
proprietary or beneficial interest in its income or assets;
iv. the applicable laws of the NFE’s jurisdiction of residence
or the NFE’s formation documents do not permit any
income or assets of the NFE to be distributed to, or applied
for the benefit of, a private person or non-charitable Entity
other than pursuant to the conduct of the NFE’s charitable
activities, or as payment of reasonable compensation for
services rendered, or as payment representing the fair
market value of property which the NFE has purchased; and
v. the applicable laws of the NFE’s jurisdiction of residence
Notes and definitions for information relevant to the
Automatic Exchange of Information for international
tax compliance (AEOI)
27
or the NFE’s formation documents require that, upon
the NFE’s liquidation or dissolution, all of its assets be
distributed to a Governmental Entity or other non-profit
organisation, or escheat to the government of the NFE’s
jurisdiction of residence or any political subdivision.
b) less than 50% of the NFE’s gross income for the preceding
calendar year or other appropriate reporting period is
passive income and less than 50% of the assets held
by the NFE during the preceding calendar year or other
appropriate reporting period are assets that produce or are
held for the production of passive income;
c) the stock of the NFE is regularly traded on an established securities
market or the NFE is a Related Entity of an Entity the stock of which
is regularly traded on an established securities market;
d) the NFE is a Governmental Entity, an International
Organisation, a Central Bank, or an Entity wholly owned by
one or more of the foregoing;
e) substantially all of the activities of the NFE consist of holding (in
whole or in part) the outstanding stock of, or providing financing
and services to, one or more subsidiaries that engage in trades
or businesses other than the business of a Financial Institution,
except that an Entity does not qualify for this status if the Entity
functions (or holds itself out) as an investment fund, such as
a private equity fund, venture capital fund, leveraged buyout
fund, or any investment vehicle whose purpose is to acquire or
fund companies and then hold interests in those companies as
capital assets for investment purposes;
f) the NFE is not yet operating a business and has no prior
operating history, (a 'start-up NFE') but is investing capital
into assets with the intent to operate a business other than
that of a Financial Institution, provided that the NFE does
not qualify for this exception after the date that is 24 months
after the date of the initial organisation of the NFE;
g) the NFE was not a Financial Institution in the past five years,
and is in the process of liquidating its assets or is reorganising
with the intent to continue or recommence operations in a
business other than that of a Financial Institution; or
h) the NFE primarily engages in financing and hedging
transactions with, or for, Related Entities that are not Financial
Institutions, and does not provide financing or hedging services
to any Entity that is not a Related Entity, provided that the group
of any such Related Entities is primarily engaged in a business
other than that of a Financial Institution.
If the Account Holder is a Passive NFE but considers that it
should be treated as an 'Active Non-Financial Foreign Entity'
under the United States FATCA regulations then please attach a
separate note to explain why. There is no need to consider this
point if the Account Holder is not US resident and does not have
any US tax-resident controlling persons.
'Control' over an Entity is generally exercised by the natural
person(s) who ultimately (whether alone or with others) has a
controlling ownership interest (typically on the basis of a certain
percentage (eg 25%)) in the Entity. Where no natural person(s)
exercises control through ownership interests, the Controlling
Person(s) of the Entity will be the natural person(s) who
exercises control of the Entity through other means. Where no
natural person(s) is/are identified as exercising control of the
Entity through ownership interests, then under the Standards
the Reportable Person is deemed to be the natural person who
holds the position of senior managing official.
'Controlling Person(s)' are the natural person(s) who exercise
control over an entity. Where that entity is treated as a Passive
Non-Financial Entity ('Passive NFE') then a Financial Institution is
required to determine whether or not these Controlling Persons
are Reportable Persons. This definition corresponds to the term
'beneficial owner' described in Recommendation 10 and the
Interpretative Note on Recommendation 10 of the Financial Action
Task Force Recommendations (as adopted in February 2012).
In the case of a trust, the Controlling Person(s) are the settlor(s),
the trustee(s), the protector(s) (if any), the beneficiary(ies)
or class(es) of beneficiaries, or any other natural person(s)
exercising ultimate effective control over the trust (including
through a chain of control or ownership). Under the Standards
the settlor(s), the trustee(s), the protector(s) (if any), and the
beneficiary(ies) or class(es) of beneficiaries, are always treated
as Controlling Persons of a trust, regardless of whether or not
any of them exercise control over the activities of the trust.
Where the settlor(s) of a trust is an Entity then the Standards
requires Financial Institutions to also identify the Controlling
Persons of the settlor(s) and when required report them as
Controlling Persons of the trust.
In the case of a legal arrangement other than a trust, 'Controlling
Person(s)' means persons in equivalent or similar positions.
'Custodial Institution' means any Entity that holds, as a
substantial portion of its business, Financial Assets for the account
of others. This is where the Entity’s gross income attributable
to the holding of Financial Assets and related financial services
equals or exceeds 20% of the Entity’s gross income during the
shorter of: (i) the three-year period that ends on 31 December (or
the final day of a non-calendar year accounting period) prior to the
year in which the determination is being made; or (ii) the period
during which the Entity has been in existence.
'Depository Institution' means any Entity that accepts deposits
in the ordinary course of a banking or similar business.
'Entity' means a legal person or a legal arrangement, such as a
corporation, organisation, partnership, trust or foundation. This
term covers any person other than an individual (i.e. other than
a natural person).
'Financial Account' means an account maintained by a Financial
Institution and includes: Depository Accounts; Custodial
Accounts; Equity and debt interest in certain Investment Entities;
Cash Value Insurance Contracts and Annuity Contracts.
'Financial Institution' means a 'Custodial Institution', a
'Depository Institution', an 'Investment Entity', or a 'Specified
Insurance Company'. Please see the relevant domestic
guidance and the Standards for further classification
definitions that apply to Financial Institutions.
'Investment Entity' includes two types of Entities:
(i) an Entity that primarily conducts as a business one or more of
28
the following activities or operations for or on behalf of a customer:
n trading in money market instruments (cheques,
bills, certificates of deposit, derivatives, etc.); foreign
exchange; exchange, interest rate and index instruments;
transferable securities or commodity futures trading;
n individual and collective portfolio management; or
n otherwise investing, administering or managing Financial
Assets or money on behalf of other persons.
Such activities or operations do not include rendering non-
binding investment advice to a customer.
(ii) the second type of 'Investment Entity' ('Investment Entity
managed by another Financial Institution') is any Entity the
gross income of which is primarily attributable to investing,
reinvesting or trading in Financial Assets where the Entity is
managed by another Entity that is a Depository Institution, a
Custodial Institution, a Specified Insurance Company or the
first type of Investment Entity noted at (i) above.
'Investment Entity located in a Non-Participating Jurisdiction
and managed by another Financial Institution' means any
Entity the gross income of which is primarily attributable to
investing, reinvesting, or trading in Financial Assets if the
Entity is (i) managed by a Financial Institution and (ii) not a
Participating Jurisdiction Financial Institution. Such an Entity is
treated in the same way as a Passive NFE for AEOI reporting.
'Investment Entity managed by another Financial Institution'
An Entity is 'managed by' another Entity if the managing Entity
performs, either directly or through another service provider on
behalf of the managed Entity, any of the activities or operations
described in clause (i) above in the definition of ‘Investment Entity’.
An Entity only manages another Entity if it has discretionary
authority to manage the other Entity’s assets (either in whole or
part). Where an Entity is managed by a mix of Financial Institutions,
NFEs or individuals, the Entity is considered to be managed by
another Entity that is a Depository Institution, a Custodial Institution,
a Specified Insurance Company, or the first type of Investment
Entity, if any of the managing Entities is such another Entity.
'NFE' is any Entity that is not a Financial Institution.
'Non-Reporting Financial Institution' means any Financial
Institution that is:
n a Governmental Entity, International Organisation or Central
Bank, other than with respect to a payment that is derived
from an obligation held in connection with a commercial
financial activity of a type engaged in by a Specified Insurance
Company, Custodial Institution, or Depository Institution;
n a Broad Participation Retirement Fund; a Narrow
Participation Retirement Fund; a Pension Fund of a
n Governmental Entity, International Organisation or Central
Bank; or a Qualified Credit Card Issuer;
n an Exempt Collective Investment Vehicle;
n a Trustee-Documented Trust: a trust where the trustee of
the trust is a Reporting Financial Institution and reports
all information required to be reported with respect to all
Reportable Accounts of the trust; or
n any other defined in a country's domestic law as a Non-
Reporting Financial Institution.
'Participating Jurisdiction' means a jurisdiction with which
an agreement is in place pursuant to which it will provide the
information set out in the Standards and that is identified in
a published list, see: www.oecd.org/tax/automatic-exchange/
commitment-and-monitoring-process/
'Participating Jurisdiction Financial Institution' means (i) any
Financial Institution that is tax-resident in a Participating Jurisdiction,
but excludes any branch of that Financial Institution that is located
outside of that jurisdiction, and (ii) any branch of a Financial
Institution that is not tax-resident in a Participating Jurisdiction, if
that branch is located in such Participating Jurisdiction.
'Passive NFE' Under the Standards a 'Passive NFE' means: (i)
any NFE that is not an Active NFE; and (ii) an 'Investment Entity
located in a Non- Participating Jurisdiction and managed by
another Financial Institution' is also treated as a Passive NFE
for the purposes of AEOI.
'Related Entity' An Entity is a 'Related Entity' of another Entity if either
Entity controls the other Entity, or the two Entities are under common
control. For this purpose, control includes direct or indirect ownership
of more than 50% of the vote and value in an Entity.
'Reportable Account' means an account held by one or more
Reportable Persons or by a Passive NFE with one or more
Controlling Persons that is a Reportable Person.
'Reportable Jurisdiction' is a jurisdiction (country) with which
an obligation to provide financial account information is in
place and that is identified in a published list.
'Reportable Jurisdiction Person' is an Entity that is tax-resident
in a Reportable Jurisdiction(s) under the tax laws of such
jurisdiction(s) - by reference to local laws in the country where
the Entity is established, incorporated or managed. An Entity
such as a partnership, limited liability partnership or similar
legal arrangement that has no residence for tax purposes shall
be treated as resident in the jurisdiction in which its place of
effective management is situated. As such if an Entity certifies
that it has no residence for tax purposes it should complete the
form stating the address of its principal office.
Dual resident Entities may rely on the tiebreaker rules
contained in tax conventions (if applicable) to determine their
residence for tax purposes.
'Reportable Person' is defined as a 'Reportable Jurisdiction
Person', other than:
n a corporation the stock of which is regularly traded on one
or more established securities markets;
n any corporation that is a Related Entity of a corporation
described in clause (i);
n a Governmental Entity;
n an International Organisation;
n a Central Bank; or
n a Financial Institution (except for an Investment Entity
described in Sub Paragraph A(6) b) of the Standards that are
not Participating Jurisdiction Financial Institutions. Instead,
such Investment Entities are treated as Passive NFE’s.)
'Resident for tax purposes' (or 'tax-resident') Generally, an
Entity will be resident for tax purposes in a jurisdiction if,
under the laws of that jurisdiction (including tax conventions),
it pays or should be paying tax therein by reason of his
29
domicile, residence, place of management or incorporation,
or any other criterion of a similar nature, and not only from
sources in that jurisdiction. Dual resident Entities may rely on the
tiebreaker rules contained in tax conventions (if applicable) to
solve cases of double residence for determining their residence
for tax purposes. An Entity such as a partnership, limited liability
partnership or similar legal arrangement that has no residence
for tax purposes shall be treated as resident in the jurisdiction
in which its place of effective management is situated. Each
jurisdiction has its own rules for defining tax residence and
jurisdictions have provided information on how to determine
whether an entity is tax-resident in the jurisdiction on the
following website: www.oecd.org/tax/automatic-exchange/crs-
implementation-and-assistance/tax-residency. Alternatively,
please talk to your tax adviser for guidance.
'Specified Insurance Company' means any Entity that is an
insurance company (or the holding company of an insurance
company) that issues, or is obligated to make payments with respect
to, a Cash Value Insurance Contract or an Annuity Contract.
'TIN' means Taxpayer Identification Number or a functional
equivalent in the absence of a TIN. A TIN is a unique combination of
letters or numbers assigned by a jurisdiction to an individual or an
Entity and used to identify the individual or Entity for the purposes
of administering the tax laws of such jurisdiction. Further details of
acceptable TINs can be found at the following link:
www.oecd.org/tax/automatic-exchange/crs-implementation-and-
assistance/tax-identification-numbers.
Some jurisdictions do not issue a TIN. However, these jurisdictions
often utilise some other high integrity number with an equivalent
level of identification (a 'functional equivalent'). Examples of that type
of number include, for Entities, a Business/company registration
code/number.
In the UK, the TIN for an entity is its Unique Tax Reference (UTR).
For an individual it may be either their National Insurance number
or (if they have one) their UTR.
Telephone calls may be monitored or recorded for security/training purposes.
Lines are open Monday to Friday 9am - 5pm (excluding English bank holidays).
