**Project outline**
We are ready for a new way of banking: non-adversarial, and friendly, with your interests being our number one priority.

No wonder people don’t like banks. Fast, easy, convenient – that’s about us. We are experts in customer service who also happen to look after your money. For us, the customer is always priority number one, which might sound like a pipe dream but with us it’s non-negotiable. You are our primary focus, this is banking re-invented. 
Our Strategy & Digital Group leads the most exciting and cutting-edge programs for the Bank. We are an eclectic mix of individual personalities unified by the simple ambition of being the best in everything that we do.
