Cambridge & Counties Bank is proudly owned by Trinity Hall, Cambridge and the Cambridgeshire Local Government Pension Fund.
We were founded in 2012 by two respected institutions with a shared vision: to create a responsible, expert banking specialist. Our mission is to bring back the best of traditional banking; personal service, transparency, and long-term relationships - while delivering the speed, efficiency, and innovation expected of a modern provider. Whether you're looking to grow your business or save securely, we offer a fast, flexible, and dependable way to do both.
Our approach
We avoid speculative markets and maintain a strong financial foundation. Our lending is always backed by real assets, and we focus on responsible growth that benefits our customers and communities.Â
Planning ahead
We take a forward-looking approach to risk and resilience. By regularly stress testing our business and maintaining robust capital and liquidity levels, we’re prepared to navigate economic challenges and continue supporting our customers.Â
- Regular stress tests to assess resilience against economic and operational shocksÂ
- Strong capital and liquidity buffers to ensure long-term stabilityÂ
A bank you can rely on
We’re committed to being open and straightforward about how we manage your money. As a single UK bank with no subsidiaries or complex structures, we keep things simple and transparent. We operate under one UK banking licence, which means eligible deposits are protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) up to the applicable limit. We also publish our financial results and risk reports annually, so you always know where we stand.Â
- One banking licence – helping ensure FSCS protection for eligible depositsÂ
- No complex structures – just one UK bankÂ
- No surprises – clear reporting and open communicationÂ
