• Providing a range of funding solutions to our clients from working capital to term lending.

• Building relationships with Group Partner companies and our Specialist Client Solution colleagues and through them bring the whole bank to the client delivering products to meet their needs.

• Supporting our clients with their treasury management needs – exploring ways in which they can deposit their cash balances to best align with their business needs.

• Managing the risk and compliance of your client portfolio
