About United Trust Bank

UTB is led by an astute and knowledgeable senior management team with many decades of experience. We provide quick, bespoke and flexible funding solutions to borrowers in a wide range of circumstances funded by a range of competitive deposit accounts and ISAs to UK retail and corporate savers.

Establishing strong relationships with our broker partners is fundamental to the continued success of our lending businesses. We never underestimate the important role brokers play in acting as counsel to their clients and we strive to add value by providing outstanding service and building relationships for the long term.

Our savers look for great service and accounts which make their money work harder, all the time benefitting from the protection and peace of mind provided by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).

United Trust Bank (UTB) was incorporated in England in 1955 and established itself as a specialist lender, mainly providing development finance to SME housebuilders as they tackled the post-war housing shortage.

In 2001 the Bank was acquired by an Anglo-Dutch bank, Insinger de Beaufort. This acquisition was led by Graham Davin and Harley Kagan, who are currently the Deputy Chairman and the CEO of UTB respectively.

In 2004 Graham, Harley and Roger Tidyman led a management buy-out of the Bank, taking it into private ownership and reinstating its original name, United Trust Bank. UTB had a loan book of £10m at that time.

And so began UTB’s modern era as an independent specialist bank. The new owners set about updating, expanding and diversifying the Bank’s operations, transforming UTB into a thriving and highly regarded specialist bank which by December 2023 had a loan book in excess of £3.1bn. Below are some of the highlights of our story since 2001.
