Partnership banking

We understand the needs of advisers, trustees and other financial intermediaries - that's why we offer an expert team, personalised service and a range of specialist products for your sector

Banking services for financial services professionals

We offer a full range of banking, deposit and lending solutions for pension providers, deposit platforms, Independent Financial Advisers, wealth managers and accountants.

And because Metro Bank does not offer wealth planning services or investment advice, we can focus on providing the right solutions for you and your clients.

With Metro Bank you can personalise your offering – whether your clients want to save or borrow. And there’s no conflict of interest as we don’t sell investments or give investment advice...

The Partnership banking team only works with approved intermediaries. If you are looking to open a business bank account for a partnership which is not being introduced to us by a professional adviser or trustee, you may do this by visiting one of our stores or via our Business Bank Account page.

Dedicated team with personal service

Our experienced team offers a deep understanding of the needs of financial intermediaries in the UK. From pension deposits to trusts and partner lending, we are able to help

Tailor your offering

Boost what you already offer your clients with a selection of our specialist products. We can tailor services to your most demanding or complex client needs by setting up a special agreement between us

Market-leading account

We’re proud of our innovative Money Management Account which lets your clients borrow money against their investment portfolio. It’s remarkably simple to use and offers you some unique options

Pension products

Pension products

Choose from instant access for day-to-day needs and a range of fixed term deposit options for savings, for your SIPP and SSAS clients. We accept applications from an approved independent trustee company, scheme administrator or practitioner, who will be a signatory to the account. It’s simple to apply for a Metro Bank pension account for your client, and our dedicated pensions team supports all of our pension providers and professional trustees every step of the way.

The team can be contacted on the shared mailbox at PensionBankingTeam@metrobank.plc.uk, or you can find individual contact details below.
