Here at Handelsbanken our focus is on building long-term relationships across personal and corporate banking, and wealth management. As a relationship bank we don’t rely on automation to make decisions and with no chatbots or endless call queues, our promise is that you’ll be able to speak to someone who can help.
As finance experts our relationship managers don’t simply manage your accounts, they partner with you to help realise your financial goals and aspirations – everything from property dreams to succession planning.
Our relationship managers have the authority and expertise to take a holistic view when it comes to decision-making. This can be particularly valuable if you or your business have more complex financial needs, where context matters as much as numbers.
Understanding your business
For our business customers in particular, having a bank that understands commercial context, as well as the local market they operate in, makes a real difference.
There’s a lot to understand about any business, so having a bank that gets under the skin of how your business works, means we can act quickly to help. Because we can make banking decisions locally, we can be proactive and responsive, whether that’s helping you to seize growth opportunities or navigate change and uncertainty.
Strong and steady
We’ve flourished through our prudent approach. Our solid capital position means we enjoy consistently high credit ratings and as Europe’s safest commercial bank*, we’re one of the best capitalised banks with substantial liquidity reserves.
We’re proud to have some of the most satisfied customers in British banking, that’s across personal and corporate banking.

The Handelsbanken difference
- Every customer has their own relationship manager, who’s accessible directly, and backed by an expert team in the branch
- Our teams aren’t distracted by bonuses or sales targets, so you can trust our colleagues to be working in your best interests. They will always make decisions based on the your needs and circumstances, even if those decisions are not the most profitable for the Bank.
- We’re decentralised, so all branches are empowered to make key banking decisions for their customers, whom they know personally. This means we can be proactive and responsive.
- With over 120 branches across the country, customers can benefit from a bank that really understands their local market and community.
- We build a relationship with customers on their terms, over the phone or face to face; whatever works best for our customers. We’ll provide support when customers need it, and only ever when it’s in their interests.
- We can support our customers with all their finances, encompassing personal and business banking, and wealth management, all locally, all in one place.
