And we exist purely to realise the extraordinary potential of UK SMEs, the undisputed backbone of our economy. We recognise their needs, challenges and frustrations – and we’re on a mission to address them head on.
The Recognise way
From our headquarters at the Royal Exchange, we’re on a mission to unlock potential and realise the diverse ambitions of UK SMEs. To achieve it, we’re building a bank that’s focused on innovative solutions and personal service, with a team with experience and drive. Our people come from a variety of backgrounds, bringing thoughts and ideas from different perspectives. If you’d like to be part of life at Recognise we regularly advertise roles on this website as well as through our preferred talent partners. If you spot a vacancy you feel would be right for you, please get in touch via the relevant web address listed on the advertisement, and we'll come back to you promptly.
Our Values
Respect
We treat others how we like to be treated - colleagues, customers, brokers, suppliers. We honour SME owners for the value they bring to our communities and economy. And the hard work that comes with that..
Simplicity
We're straightforward to work with and to work for. We keep things uncomplicated - from our single-minded focus on UK SMEs, to our pragmatic approach to lending. Our customers don't have time to waste and neither do we.
Relationships
Personal relationships are what set us apart. We build ours on deep understanding, accessibility and trust, without taking ourselves too seriously. Because everything we do is about bringing the human touch back to SME banking.
Kaizen
We don't believe the conventional way of doing things is always the right way or the best. So we look to improve, continuously. This means challenging ourselves to go the extra mile, for our customers and each other, and never settling for the easy option.
