Michelle, Senior Private Banker and Team Leader

Weatherbys has been around for over 250 years and that longevity speaks volumes. It’s a name that represents trust, stability and excellence – values that are rare and incredibly important in today’s financial world.

Jack, Associate Private Banker

A couple told me that whilst looking for a private bank for the first time, they felt like imposters, until they walked into Weatherbys. They described their banker as a friend they could trust. That’s how it feels to bank with us.

Nicola, Head of Marketing

Sitting with two colleagues at a staff event and crying with laughter at their life stories, I was reminded we’re a team with different experiences, all united in wanting to serve our clients and see Weatherbys succeed.
