OakNorth was built on the foundations of frustrations. In 2005, when our founders tried to get business finance for their data analytics company, the computer said ‘no’. Unfortunately, all major banks in the UK were using the same computer – and it was broken.Why was it so difficult for a profitable business with healthy cash flow, retained clients and commercial success to get a loan? The industry was too focused on financials from the past, rather than potential in the future.So, what if there was a bank, founded by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs? And what if that bank allowed savers to invest their money into businesses that create jobs in their communities?Say hello to OakNorth.For more information regarding our Privacy Policy and practices, please visit:
