Local lender Skipton International is celebrating having reached £1.5 billion of assets.
This milestone comes a year before the award-winning bank is due to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the amalgamation of Skipton Guernsey and Scarborough Channel Islands.
Jim Coupe, Managing Director of Skipton, said: “Reporting assets of £1.5 billion is a great indicator to our customers of Skipton’s strong position. We are maintaining sustainable growth of our mortgage lending in the Channel Islands and diversifying our proposition into the UK.
“Our vision is to be the most recommended bank in the Channel Islands. Consistent levels of superior customer service alongside competitive products has got us to where we are today. It’s all about listening to our customers’ needs and giving them what they want, leading to our second Feefo Gold award this year. We are looking forward to an exciting 2019, when we celebrate a special anniversary with customers and islanders.”

Lorraine Mclean, Mortgage Sales Manager at the Skipton Mortgage Centre which opened last year, added: “Having a mortgage office in St Helier has definitely made us much more visible for islanders. We are now very accessible, whether that is to pop in for a quick enquiry or to make an appointment to find the best mortgage for your circumstances.
"We feel very at home here and at the heart of the Jersey community.”
