A word from a Branch Manager, Jake (Hampstead branch)

-

"We're passionate about building long-term relationships, getting to know our customers and helping to make a real difference to them, their businesses and families.

Both our private and corporate banking managers spend time getting to know their customers, allowing us to provide a truly bespoke service. Each customer has direct access to their account manager and the wider team from day one, and every aspect of their account is handled in the branch."

It's about customer satisfaction, not targets and bonuses

It’s unusual in banking, but our colleagues don’t work to meet targets and bonuses, they work for you. We don’t run expensive marketing campaigns and rely on our reputation to meet new people, so it’s essential we deliver on excellent service. Independent surveys show our approach works; we’re consistently rated top for customer satisfaction.

Customer satisfaction

Recommended by our customers

Getting to know our customers over the long term and making them satisfied is important to us. So far, this has enabled us to grow organically to help communities across the UK, mainly through recommendation. These are some things our customers say.

''To be able to go to your local bank and know everyone and to receive such a friendly yet professional service from everyone is such a rarity in this computer driven world that we live in today.''

"We chose Handelsbanken because of the team. They listened more than they talked, urged caution above gearing and introduced us to like-minded people. As a family business, by stressing the personal touch and long term horizons, their values chimed with ours."
