We go further,
At United Trust Bank, we believe that people achieve more together than alone. That’s why we’re dedicated to building great relationships, offering tailored solutions, and providing our clients and broker partners with the support they need to go further. This was true when we first opened our doors, and it’s still our approach today.
Our history
United Trust Bank was incorporated in England in 1955, when we established ourselves as a specialist lender primarily providing development finance to SME house-builders as they tackled the post-war housing shortage.
In 2001 the bank was acquired by Anglo-Dutch bank, Insinger de Beaufort. The acquisition was led by Graham Davin and Harley Kagan, United Trust Bank’s current Deputy Chairman and CEO, respectively.
In 2004 Graham, Harley, and Roger Tidyman led a management buy-out of the bank, taking it into private ownership and reinstating its original name, United Trust Bank. At the time, the bank’s loan book was £10m.
And so began United Trust Bank’s modern era as an independent specialist bank. The new owners set about updating, expanding, and diversifying the bank’s operations, transforming United Trust Bank into a thriving and highly regarded specialist bank which by December 2023 had a loan book in excess of £3.1bn.
