ABG will be welcoming Handelsbanken Maidstone at our meeting on Tuesday 12th November.
Branch Manager Jack Thomas and Private Banking Manager Claire Hayward will be telling us more about the bank and how they work with their clients.
Handelsbanken describes itself as “very different from High Street banks”.
ABG meetings have often been spent talking about business issues, and lack of support from banks has been a hot topic.
Local advice, business guidance, growth advice and future planning have all been mentioned as missing from modern day banking.
Our more experienced members remember when bank managers gave advice – one member was even told by a bank manager to come to ABG several years ago, to build a network for support and referrals… he’s still a member!
Many banks are now simply apps – with no human to help.
Claire says: “It’s a local relationship bank, built on satisfied customers, financial strength and sustainable values. We support local communities across the country, helping individuals and businesses with their financial needs.
“At Handelsbanken Maidstone, the majority of important decisions that impact our customers are made by us at the branch. Our aim, quite simply, is to provide the best possible service to each of our customers.
“We invest time to get to know each of our customers, their needs and aspirations. Our customers benefit from a responsive and reliable service, with a direct line to a dedicated account manager.
“Our focus is on building long-term customer relationships for mutual benefit, driven by the satisfaction of our customers instead of product campaigns, sales targets or
short-term incentives.
It’s free to visit ABG and guests will be treated to a breakfast of their choice – a full English, or toast.
Join us with our guests from Handelsbanken on Tuesday 12th November at 7:30am.
