About Us
thisbank was relaunched in 2026 but has operated as a UK bank under a former name from 2019.
With a rich heritage thisbank offers a dynamic environment at the cutting edge of modern banking. The bank has transformed under new leadership since January 2023. Guided by a fresh energy and strategy, we’ve embraced sustainable, impactful growth with a focus on financing energy-efficient home improvements through retail financing at the point of sale as well as other retail finance products. These loans support customers investing in their homes to become more energy efficient and environmentally friendly (via improved insulation or newer and alternative heating and cooling solutions), whilst proactively running off the legacy unsecured personal loan portfolio.
thisbank currently employs ~80 people. It is a digital bank that has no branches. We currently offer savings accounts, forward flow secured loans and retail point of sale loans, and we have big product growth plans over the next few years.
In August 2023 the Bank complimented its origination capabilities by entering into a forward-flow relationship with a third party. This approach enabled the Bank to acquire beneficial interest in secured mortgages whilst mitigating operational delivery risk by effectively outsourcing the origination and servicing aspects of this lending. These products are primarily funded by fixed-term deposits and some instant access savings.
Recognising the critical need for the Bank to reach profitability in a timely manner, the Board approved an ‘accelerated strategy’ in September 2023 for the Bank to purchase portfolios of secured consumer mortgages.
In 2024 the bank sought outside investment and was ultimately sold to a group of UK and US investors, who have continued to support the Bank’s organic and inorganic growth resulting in the Bank achieving profitability for the first time in H2 of 2024.
Through 2025 the Bank underwent a significant transformation programme which incorporated a complete overhaul of systems, processes, strategy, direction and ultimately a complete rebrand to thisbank .
2026 plans for the Bank are ones of growth, building on the new consumer focused brand and via strategic acquisitions.
thisbank is building a fair, easy-to-use and supportive banking experience for real people. We’re proud of our heritage and our commitment to trust, inclusivity and innovation. Our culture is open, positive and collaborative, we value diversity in all its forms.
Joining us means being part of a team that cares about customers, colleagues, and making a real impact.
