Relationships count as Handelsbanken celebrate five years in Warrington

HANDELSBANKEN, the local relationship bank, has celebrated its 5th anniversary serving personal and business banking customers in Warrington. Since opening its doors on Centre Park in 2009, the branch has grown rapidly through recommendation.
Handelsbanken has over 800 branches in 24 countries, and is judged one of the world’s strongest banks*. In Britain, the bank has been able to more than double its branch network since the financial crisis began, today supporting customers in 172 communities across the country.
Due to its strong focus on long-term relationships and high levels of personal service, Handelsbanken was recently rated top for customer satisfaction for the fifth year running in an independent survey of British banks’ personal and business customers.
The Warrington branch’s experienced team of 5 local bankers has developed steadily and today supports a wide range of customers with their banking needs.
Branch Manager Lesley Cozens puts this success down to a unique combination of customer satisfaction, local decision making, and the bank’s financial strength and stability, adding:
“We’ve been greatly encouraged by the response of local firms, individuals, and the professional community. It demonstrates a clear demand for our traditional values of excellent personal service, long-term customer satisfaction, and sound banking advice based only on our customers’ needs.”
Handelsbanken’s strongly decentralised approach gives branch teams full power to make decisions locally, meaning customers benefit from genuinely bespoke banking and swift, clear decisions.
At a time when financial strength and stability are crucial to customers, Handelsbanken has been rated one of the strongest banks in the world by financial information provider Bloomberg*. This reflects the bank’s long-term focus and prudent, consistent approach to banking throughout all economic conditions.
