Article Abstract:
Jersey saw an increase in bank deposits of 36% in 1995, and this growth was especially strong for foreign currency deposits. Entry requirements are strict, and banking supervision is at a high level, but Jersey does not have a protection scheme for depositors. Funds are available in a range of currencies, in line with the requirements of an international clientele. Jersey banks are innovative in their view of banking services and this serves the needs of their international client base.

This bank promises to make ethical investments and provides a number of services for charities such as a system of postal payments.

Article Abstract:
Connection is a UK charity aiding pre-school children with problems in their home background and behavior. The charity has set up a scheme whereby donations of shares may be made by people who hold small numbers of shares and would not benefit greatly from selling these due to charges made by brokers. Donated holdings are transferred to Connection by a broker from Leicester, England, Hill Osborne and Co. The charity can sell the shares when enough have accumulated.
