This is the 7th consecutive year Skipton International has been shortlisted for a Moneyfacts Award.

The Moneyfacts Awards involve an independent assessment of personal finance products with input from IFAs.

Skipton International offers a range of offshore savings accounts from Notice to Easy Access, and Fixed Rate accounts, to Channel Island residents and to British expats around the world.

Jim Coupe, Managing Director, Skipton International, said: “We’re delighted to be shortlisted once again for the Money Facts Awards. Offshore accounts are an integral part of our offering and we look after the savings of Channel Islanders along with British expats from more than 100 countries around the world.

“As a Guernsey-registered bank we are committed to giving customers from the Channel Islands, and beyond, the best personal service and to make the process of opening offshore savings accounts as straightforward as possible.”

At the end of 2015 Skipton International reached £1.075 billion of deposits, making it equivalent to the 12th biggest building society in the UK.

Skipton was recently named Guernsey Business of the Year at the Awards for Achievement. The Guernsey-registered bank is also a key participator in Guernsey’s community; sponsoring the

Skipton Arts Festival, giving 100 island artists an opportunity to showcase their work, and the Skipton Swimarathon, the island’s largest charity event, which last year raised in excess of £55,000 for charities including the Guernsey Cheshire Home.

The Moneyfacts Awards will be announced in London on the 7th June.
