Banking for startups & scaleups

Safeguarding your capital so you can focus on innovation

Early-stage founders don’t have the time or space to worry about banking. It just needs to work. Your accounts need to be secure and accessible. Your reserves need to earn a decent return.

Weatherbys Business Bank offers simple, secure banking for founders who value clarity over complexity. Our digital systems are efficient and effective.

You will know the people supporting you and they will know you. Weatherbys is a leading private bank and those service standards are maintained in our corporate banking.

Why Weatherbys?

With a history of over 250 years, Weatherbys combines heritage with financial strength. We maintain a highly conservative balance sheet and robust capital position. We operate with a very low risk appetite: we do not lend or speculate within business and commercial banking. Your deposits will remain secure in an environment designed for longevity, continuity and trust.

We understand the nuances of early-stage businesses: grant funding, investor tranches and IP-heavy balance sheets. Our bankers provide tailored support at the outset and ongoing attention as you grow, ensuring your treasury strategy aligns with your milestones and your funds work hard for you.
