About Us:

Were OakNorth, and we embolden entrepreneurs to realise their ambitions, understand their markets, and apply data intelligence to everyday decisions to scale successfully at pace.

But we go beyond finance, to empower our people, encourage professional growth and create an environment where everyone can thrive. We strive to create an inclusive and diverse workplace where people can be themselves and succeed.

Our story:

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.
