"I started talking to Handelsbanken as it was not clear whether my current bank still had an appetite for my business sector in property investment. Handelsbanken proved to be refreshingly different in their approach, in that they not only took the time to view my investments, but also liaised with my accountant to take on board the preferred way to structure a solution. Whilst the latter proved to be something not provided before, again, they made the effort to investigate all options and were able to apply a common sense approach and deliver what was asked of them. As a parting gift, my former lender hit me with a large penalty to try and stop me moving, but by then, I felt the Handelsbanken traditional approach to banking was for me and paid what was required to facilitate the move. I haven't looked back since, I have a great relationship with all at the Watford office, they have continued to support my growth plans and I can now plan ahead with certainty. The banking regulator also agreed my former banks 'break' costs were unreasonable and these were subsequently refunded."

“I recently transferred to Handelsbanken, who were proactive in assisting with funding my new build. Karen Ballard was assigned as my Account Manager and I have been delighted with her high level of service, knowledge and support throughout my build. Given the additional stresses that these projects tend to demand, Karen has always been available when funds have been required, and her hands on approach has allowed the process to run smoothly. Furthermore, Karen made several site visits and worked well with my build team. I have enjoyed my experience with Handelsbanken and Karen, and look forward to a long relationship with the Bank”.
