Who are we?
Owned by Trinity Hall, Cambridge and Cambridgeshire Local Government Pension Fund, we are the result of two well-respected institutions who joined together to create a responsible expert-banking specialist.
Our main aim was to bring back all the great elements of a traditional bank, combining these with all the speed, efficiency, and innovation of a contemporary lender. The result? A fast and flexible way to invest and grow with us, and safely save with us.
