Sports professionals

Private banking for sports professionals

We’ve worked with professional sportspeople across boxing, football, cricket, tennis, horse racing, golf and other sports for many years. Our team of private bankers and financial planners understand the unique and complex needs surrounding a career in sports. We will work with you to build a clear strategy, including helping you to manage income that can fluctuate between seasons and plan for a life after sport.

Why Weatherbys?

• We understand that no two careers are the same – we match you with a dedicated private banker and assistant, who know your circumstances and are available by email, phone or WhatsApp, whenever and wherever you need them.  We shape our service around you and your busy schedule, not the other way around.
• We value clarity over complexity.
• We think long term.
• We’re on your team. We collaborate seamlessly with your agent, accountant, lawyer, independent financial adviser to become part of your trusted inner circle.
• We protect your privacy.  We’re trusted precisely because we act quickly, but carefully.

Day-to-day banking

We think even the simplest banking deserves exceptional service. Our clients value the speed with which we onboard and the peace of mind that comes from knowing their day-to-day banking is handled by someone who knows them personally. It’s everyday banking made seamless, reassuringly simple – and  anything but ordinary:

• Fast set-up and onboarding
• Multi-currency capability, including accounts and debit cards in EUR/GBP/CHF
• Seamless, quick and safe switching via the Current Account Switch Guarantee
• Flexible overdrafts
• Digital banking via online banking and the biometric Weatherbys app, along with Apple Pay
• Competitive foreign exchange services for transfers abroad
• No foreign exchange charge or commission on debit card use
• Dedicated support from a private banker, on hand whenever and wherever needed
• Support for non-personal accounts such as property companies
• Managed access for family members/staff (additional cards or online access)
• Accounts for spouse/partner, children and wider family as appropriate

Personal service when you need it most

As a family-owned bank, we offer something different: a genuinely personal service, built around relationships. You will have your own private banker – someone who knows you, understands your world and is easy to contact whenever you need advice or support.

As well as day-to-day banking uur services include lending, foreign exchange and investment wealth and advice, always delivered with integrity and the human touch.

What you need to know

Remember the value of investments can go down as well as up, so you could get back less than you invested.

If you don’t keep up with repayments on your mortgage or any other loan secured against your home, it could be repossessed.  All mortgages and loans are subject to status and lending criteria, and you must be 18 or over to apply.
