Bringing banking back to you.
‘A really nice feeling of support, which I think gives meaning to the term ‘community bank’. We’re forever grateful and continue to grow as a business’

Key Benefits
The Hampshire Community Bnk serves the local community and works with SMEs and councils to deliver sustainable economic growth. We retain the profits for reinvestment in the local economy of Hampshire. The entity cannot be taken over or sold, thus will continue to exist to benefit the people of Hampshire.
One of a Kind
Your money stays in the community: 50% of the returns go to HCB Foundation, a charity for the benefit of the people in Hampshire.
Lending to Small and Medium Sized Firms in Hampshire
We have already been creating jobs in Hampshire through our lending to SMEs from our Green Growth Loans Programme (GGL), backed by Eastleigh Borough Council and the Government. The GGL is a revolving loan fund. For our next stage – the Community Bank – Hampshire city councils, borough councils, universities, Local First CIC and HCB Foundation (a charitable entity) have provided the capital.
