BANK OF SCOTLAND
We've redefined the word 'differently'.
Some banks may tell you they are different. But in reality, many
just end up providing the same as everyone else, have the same restrictions
as everyone else and ultimately end up not being different at all.
So what makes Bank of Scotland Corporate genuinely different?
For a start, we understand that the success, or otherwise, of
any business relies on more than just money – 300 years of helping a wide range of organisations
has taught us that. Plus, along the way we’ve built teams that are
amongst the most knowledgeable and enthusiastic in the industry,
providing long-term solutions that are practical, effective and straightforward.
They have a genuine desire to understand your needs and vision for the future
whilst keeping you in touch with considerable expertise and experience
to deliver the difference.
‘Differently’ to us also means innovation – covering all
sectors of corporate finance and banking. So, whether you need a banking
service or finance for anything from cars, property or computers to a fleet
of ocean going liners or a management buy-out, then talk to us. We’re
a bank that likes to get the deal done, however sophisticated.
In short, if there's a way to do business, we'll find it. If there's
not, we'll do our best to invent one. You can't do that if you look at things
the way everyone else does.
That’s the difference!

Testimonials
Darren Street, Director, DHD Self Storage Ltd.
"I have been dealing with Bank of Scotland Corporate for 5 years after transferring from my old bank. At the time I transferred, my old bank was proving to be both extremely dictatorial and unrealistic. I was recommended to meet with Philip Bond at BoS Corporate and I found his stance completely the opposite. There was also a significant cost saving on overall charges in transferring my banking to Bank of Scotland Corporate and they were more than happy to provide the finance needed to build an extension to our premises which will help our business grow considerably. I would rather deal with a bank that values my business not tolerates it."
Rob McGrigor, Finance Director, Agrivert Limited
"Bank of Scotland Corporate were keen from the start to get involved with our growing business and create a long-term cooperative relationship. Unlike some other banks we invited, BoS maintained this keenness beyond the original 'sales pitch' and continued to be supportive and understanding.
I have been impressed with their responsiveness, adaptability and genuine pride in trying to deliver the service we need and we look forward to this relationship continuing through the good times and the bad."
Chris Hayter, Director and Owner, Chris Hayter (Transport) Ltd
"Having grown out of our existing leased premises we were very keen to purchase 7 acres of industrial land locally and build 12000 square feet of warehousing. After unsuccessful approaches to our bankers at the time at the time to fund this important venture, we had no alternative to approach other possible funding sources. We found Bank of Scotland Corporate more than willing to facilitate our requirements and their understanding and acceptance of the whole project enabled us to purchase the land.
The BoS manager steered the whole transaction through in a very tight timescale and their active support and advice enabled the establishment of the funding and change of banking to reach a very smooth conclusion. As a consequence we were then able to achieve our goal of acquiring the land and building our purpose built depot."
