Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

Section 2 of the Dormant Bank and Building Society Accounts Act 2008 (c.31) enables certain smaller banks and building societies to transfer part of the balance of a dormant account to a local charity or one with which the institution has a special connection.

These Regulations amend the Building Societies (Accounts and Related Provisions) Regulations 1998 (S.I. 1998/504) to require a building society which makes a transfer to identify in the directors’ report those charities to which a transfer has been made and the amounts transferred to such charities.
