We opened our doors in the summer of 2010 and were the first high street bank to open in the UK in over 100 years. In the 10 years since then, we’ve built a business that is providing meaningful competition against larger incumbents and offering a compelling alternative for customers across retail, private, small business (SME) and commercial banking.
Our ambition
Our ambition is to become the UK’s best community bank. Community banking means being embedded in the local communities that we serve, ensuring local decision-making, providing access to simple and straightforward retail, business banking and commercial services that best meet the needs of residents and businesses in the surrounding area.
Our purpose
We are achieving our ambition through delivering on our purpose which is to create FANS. FANS are customers which are created through delivering exceptional customer service and champion Metro Bank through actively recommending us to friends and family
