For the past few months, the Commissioner for Voluntary Organisations and the Malta Council for the Voluntary Sector held discussions with Bank of Valletta in order to remove the administrative costs on bank accounts by Voluntary Organisations with the same bank.

With the intervention of the Minister for Inclusion, Voluntary Organisations and Consumer Rights Hon. Julia Farrugia Portelli, in discussion with officials from Bank of Valletta, it was clarified that voluntary organisations registered with the Commissioner can communicate with their Bank branch where they can provide the registration number to be exempt from this payment as part of the social responsibility of the same Bank.

For more information and assistance, voluntary organisations can contact the office of the Malta Council for the Voluntary Sector on telephone 2248 1110 or by email on vosupport@maltacvs.org.
