Written by the company
Recognise Bank was founded in 2017 by experienced business owners who recognised the disconnect between traditional business banking and the needs of modern SMEs. We were frustrated with the lack of understanding, certainty and flexibility offered within the industry. In short, we believed that we could build a better bank. And so, we did. We received our banking licence in 2021 and quickly grew our community of loyal business and personal customers, with the help of our dedicated, diverse, and expert team. Recognising our customers is at the heart of what we do. Today, our hard work and customer centricity is demonstrated by our excellent rating on Trustpilot. We offer a range award-winning, secure FSCS protected savings accounts with competitive interest rates for individuals and businesses alike. Recognise Bank is authorised by the Prudential Regulatory Authority (PRA) and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Prudential Regulatory Authority (PRA). Our eligible saving products are protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) up to £85,000 for individuals and businesses and £170,000 for joint accounts. We also offer a range of specialist lending products, and we aim to be as flexible as possible with all of our offerings and services, no matter what your business needs. It’s why our customers, brokers and partners love working with us.
