At Bank of Scotland we view business success as a journey.
We want to provide combined support that adds real value, and secures long-term growth. Scotland is home to a vibrant business landscape, where traditional industries such as agriculture, tourism and manufacturing meet the entrepreneurial craft producers finding success in both domestic and international markets. Every business is different, therefore so is every
one of our customers. Our senior managers and relationship managers across Scotland have a blend of experience and sector insight meaning decisions are made based on a true understanding of each individual business. Our team of trading and key market
professionals provide face-to-face support to firms of all sizes and sectors, across Scotland. At the same time, we strive to explore new technologies and channels to allow us to connect with our customers and make these relationships stronger. We are actively looking to meet our customers’
funding requirements through both alternative and more traditional forms of finance. Whether it be to support growth, improve efficiency and liquidity or even launch an exciting new venture, here at Bank of Scotland, we remain committed to Scottish businesses.
