Being a specialist bank means that we  have a close relationship with our customers and the sectors in which they operate. We make it our business to understand the particular issues that they face on a day-to-day basis.

To help us do this, we are proud members of many national bodies, and we work in partnership with a wide variety of organisations which are sector experts to:

• fund research
• support events to share best practice and stimulate debate, and
• publish insight issues affecting our customers.

Below is a list of the organisations which we work most closely with. From here you can visit their websites to learn more about the good work they are doing across the UK every day.
