About Conister Bank

Conister Bank

We focus on the financial needs and aspirations of the Isle of Man Community. We’ve been providing savings and lending to businesses and personal customers on the island since 1935. Simplicity and friendliness are important to us. Although we’ve developed significantly over the years, traditional values such as courtesy, safety and integrity guide our approach.

An independent, local bank with international expertise, we hope to remain the bank of choice for our personal and business customers on the island. In times of economic turmoil, Conister Bank continues to provide refuge to customers seeking a straightforward, trusted approach to their money.

About Us

Named after the Conister Rock in Douglas Bay, we’ve been helping our customers achieve their financial goals for decades. We offer excellent value, good service, quick decisions and a flexible approach to doing business. As the Isle of Man’s only independent bank, our combination of stability, personal service, convenience and excellent products has won us many loyal customers. Their trust and continuing business matter to us.

History

Established in 1935, we were the Isle of Man’s first major provider of credit finance. Conister Bank is still a leading provider of asset finance to local companies and individuals. But we also offer a range of other services to help our customers manage their finances. Their continuing loyalty and our stable heritage mean we have been able to develop into a successful and customer focused bank catering to the different needs of our local clients.

Approach

We live in the same communities as our customers and are committed to offering them great value - not necessarily the cheapest or the most expensive, but a combination of fair price, attractive terms and good service. Largely unaffected by UK banking problems or the challenges of global call centres, we are independent thinkers who grow our business by listening and reacting to our customers. We can – and do – turn round requests for finance in a matter of hours. Unlike others, we make all of our lending decisions in the Isle of Man, using our local insight and knowledge to benefit our clients.

Similarly, our uncomplicated and efficient approach enables us to open savings accounts quickly and without fuss. We value close relationships with our customers, many of whom have banked with us for decades. Their wellbeing and success are important to us.
