Working with us
We know your clients' situation and requirements can be unique, so we'll assess each case individually. Our corporate manager will have an initial discussion with you, if we can help we'll get to know your client's situation and aspirations in more detail, to get to the right solution for them. Everything will be handled at the local branch and both you and your client will have a dedicated account manager from day one.

How to get in touch

(1) Variable rate – you pay an agreed interest rate margin, which is added to reference rates such as the Bank of England Base Rate. This allows you to benefit if interest rates fall, but could leave you exposed to increased repayments if rates rise. (2) Fixed rate – you have a fixed payment amount so you can be sure of the amount of your repayments for the fixed term. If the loan is repaid early, a prepayment fee will be payable and if you prepay the loan within a fixed rate period, you will also have to pay a fixed rate break fee
