Handelsbanken set to open 180th UK branch
Swedish bank Handelsbanken is on track to open its 180th branch in the UK, as the popularity of its personal banking and mortgage service increases.
The group has grown its loan book in Britain to £13.3bn during the third quarter of this year, as shown in its latest financial results. The lender has provided £4.1bn in loans to individuals and £9.1bn to businesses.
Handelsbanken tends to be one of the more conservative lenders, although they often lend where others banks will not. Trinity has access to their branches and residential, buy-to-let and commercial mortgages.
Anders Bouvin, UK boss of Handelsbanken, told City AM newspaper: “Strong and lasting relationships are the cornerstone of our local banking model, and we find this traditional approach strikes a similar chord in communities all over Great Britain.”
