B-North is raising capital ahead of getting its banking licence (due spring 2020). It will then attack the huge, profitable and poorly served SME lending market. B-North’s combines: i) state of the art technology (built from scratch addressing customer’s needs), ii) offering the £20bn+ p.a. commercial broker market unparalleled service and an innovative remuneration model, and iii) experienced bankers based in empowered regional hubs. It should be more efficient than peers and will use technology to be close to customers. Funding will be via the deep best-buy retail deposit comparison sites.
