UCIS is the central treasury fund of the Queensland Synod. By maintaining surplus funds in a UCIS investment, Uniting Church congregations, services and activities enable the larger pool of funds to be invested and managed to maximise return for the whole church. Available investment types include Cash Investment (accessible, no minimum) or Fixed Term Investments (choice of terms, minimum investment amount). UCIS can also provide loans to congregations and Uniting Church activities.
