Recognise Bank celebrates UK Savings Week 2024

At Recognise Bank, we are proud to champion the benefits of saving and building positive savings habits – not only for individuals but for small businesses too. That is why we are pleased to support the Building Societies Association’s (BSA) annual UK Savings Week which takes place between 9th-15th September 2024.

Launched in 2022, UK Savings Week is designed to encourage everyone to either start their savings journey and become regular savers or enhance their savings strategies to get the most out of their money. At Recognise Bank, we believe that this week is also a great opportunity for businesses to think about their financial health and resilience with regards to savings.

Wherever you are in your savings journey, a common goal people work towards is having enough savings to be able to deal with an unexpected circumstance or emergency. For UK Savings Week, Recognise Bank will be exploring how this might work for small businesses. Be sure to follow our blog and social channels for more details.
